sch.3-sec.56 Transitional provisions governing accrued and accruing rights, liabilities etc
A reference in a document (including a legislative instrument) to the superseded jurisdictional rules or a particular provision of the superseded jurisdictional rules is (where the context permits) taken to be a reference to the current rules or the corresponding provision of the current rules (as the case requires). An action taken under, or for the purposes of, the superseded jurisdictional rules is taken to be an action taken under, or for the purposes of, the corresponding provisions of the current rules. In particular— an administrative process commenced by the jurisdictional regulator or a former gas market operator before the relevant changeover date may be continued and completed by AEMO or the AER (as the case requires) under the current rules; and consultation commenced before the relevant changeover date under the superseded jurisdictional rules may be continued and completed under the corresponding provisions of the current rules; and a period that had, at the relevant changeover date, partially elapsed under the superseded jurisdictional rules is, from the relevant changeover date, taken to be part of the corresponding period (if any) under the current rules as if the current rules had been in force when the relevant period began to run. A right or privilege that had accrued or was accruing under the superseded jurisdictional rules as at the relevant changeover date is taken to be an accrued or accruing right or privilege under the corresponding provisions of the current rules. A liability, obligation or penalty incurred under the superseded jurisdictional rules before the relevant changeover date is, after the relevant changeover date, taken to be a liability, obligation or penalty incurred under the corresponding provisions of the current rules. A jurisdictional regulator must not take or continue action that can be continued and completed by AEMO or the AER under this clause. sch 3 s 56 ins 2009 No. 30 (SA) s 49 (sch.3-sec.56-ssec.1) A reference in a document (including a legislative instrument) to the superseded jurisdictional rules or a particular provision of the superseded jurisdictional rules is (where the context permits) taken to be a reference to the current rules or the corresponding provision of the current rules (as the case requires).
