#### 21 Law to be applied in appeals
(1) Where, under this Act:
(a) an appeal instituted before the commencement may be continued and completed after the commencement; or
(b) an appeal may be instituted after the commencement against a decision made or judgment given:
(i) before the commencement; or
(ii) after the commencement in proceedings instituted before the commencement;
the law that is to be applied for the purposes of the appeal is the same as the law that would be applied, under this Act, in a relevant original proceeding that started before the commencement and was continued after the commencement.
(2) In this section, relevant original proceeding, in relation to an appeal, means a proceeding of the kind in which the decision or judgment appealed against was made.
