Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a commencement proclamation—a formal legal instrument that switches on specific parts of an existing law.

What it does:

Activates Schedules 1 and 2 of the Jurisdiction of Courts Legislation Amendment Act 2002
Sets the start date as 14 October 2002
Signed by the Governor-General (Peter Hollingworth) on 3 October 2002

Why it matters: Even after Parliament passes a law, it often needs a separate formal announcement (called a "proclamation") to actually take effect. This document does exactly that—it tells the courts and the public that these specific court jurisdiction rules begin operating on that date. Without this proclamation, those schedules would remain dormant.
