### sch.1-sec.65 Continuation and finalisation of matters under former part 5
This section applies if, before the commencement, a right, privilege or liability was acquired, accrued or incurred by the commission or a person under former part 5 and—
the right or privilege had not been exhausted; or
the liability had not been released.
The right, privilege or liability may be exercised or enforced under former part 5 despite the replacement of that part by the Amendment Act.

a person continues to be liable for any contravention of a provision of former part 5 that happened before the commencement; or
a person who, before the commencement, was liable to pay an insurance premium under former part 5 continues to be liable to pay the premium; or
a liability of the commission to issue a certificate of insurance under former part 5 that had not been issued before the commencement must be issued in compliance with former section 69(1); or
a proceeding to recover an amount under former section 71 may be started, continued or completed and any defence available to a person under that section may be relied upon.
In this section—
liability includes an obligation of the commission or a person to take particular action under former part 5.
