183 Ongoing proceedings of former Tribunal (1) Proceedings currently before the former Tribunal become proceedings before NTCAT on the commencement. (2) Those proceedings continue uninterrupted and, subject to subsections (3) and (4), are not affected by the enactment of the Mental Health and Related Services Amendment Act 2020. (3) If, as a result of the enactment of the Mental Health and Related Services Amendment Act 2020, the procedure applicable to the proceedings after the commencement (the new procedure) is different from that which would have applied before the commencement (the old procedure), the proceedings are to be conducted in accordance with the new procedure. (4) However, if NTCAT is satisfied that conducting the proceedings in accordance with the new procedure would be unfair on a party to the proceedings, NTCAT may conduct the proceedings in accordance with the old procedure to the extent NTCAT thinks fit.
