Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a commencement proclamation—essentially a formal "on switch" for specific parts of the Judiciary Amendment Act 2015.

What it does:

Activates Schedules 1, 2, and 3 of the Judiciary Amendment Act 2015
Sets the start date: These provisions become law on 1 July 2015

Why it matters: Without this proclamation, the changes contained in those three Schedules would remain dormant (not yet in force). The Governor-General issued this instrument using a specific power in the parent Act that allows different parts of legislation to start on different dates.

Important note: This document only controls when the law applies, not what the law actually says. To understand the substance of the changes, you would need to read the Schedules of the Judiciary Amendment Act 2015 itself.
