(3) Subsection (2) does not apply if the proceedings under the Fair Work Act 1994 or the Fair Work Act 2009 of the Commonwealth are dismissed on a ground that does not relate to a ground of discrimination under this Act. (4) If a person brings proceedings under this Act in respect of dismissal from employment, and those proceedings are determined, that person cannot institute or prosecute proceedings under the Fair Work Act 1994 in respect of the dismissal. (5) Subsection (4) does not apply if the proceedings under this Act are dismissed and the proceedings under the Fair Work Act 1994 do not relate to a ground of discrimination under this Act. (6) The Commissioner may, with leave of SAET in proceedings before SAET under the Fair Work Act 1994, make submissions and present evidence in those proceedings. 102—Offences against Commissioner A person must not molest, wilfully insult, hinder or obstruct the Commissioner, or an officer assisting the Commissioner, in the exercise or discharge by the Commissioner or the officer of official powers or duties.

Australian Employment Tribunal) Act 2016 as amended by South Australian Employment Tribunal (Miscellaneous) Amendment Act 2017, Sch 1 100—Transitional provisions (1) In this section— principal Act means the Equal Opportunity Act 1984; relevant day means the day on which this Part comes into operation; SAET means the South Australian Employment Tribunal; Tribunal means the Equal Opportunity Tribunal established under the Equal Opportunity Act 1984. (2) The Tribunal is dissolved by force of this subsection (and so the commencement of this subsection brings to an end the appointment of a person as a member of the Tribunal). (3) No right of action arises, and no compensation is payable, in respect of an appointment coming to an end by virtue of the operation of subsection (2). (4) A decision, direction or order of the Tribunal under the principal Act in force immediately before the relevant day will, on and from the relevant day, be taken to be a decision, direction of order of SAET. (5) A right to take action with respect to any matter in existence before the relevant day, with the effect that the relevant proceedings would have been commenced before the Tribunal under the principal Act, will be exercised as if this Part had been in operation before the right arose, so that the relevant proceedings may be commenced instead before SAET. (6) Any proceedings before the Tribunal under the principal Act immediately before the relevant day will, subject to such directions as the President of SAET thinks fit, be transferred to SAET where they may proceed as if they had been commenced before SAET. (7) SAET may— (a) receive in evidence any transcript of evidence in proceedings before the Tribunal, and draw any conclusions of fact from that evidence that appear proper; and (b) adopt any findings or determinations of the Tribunal that may be relevant to proceedings before SAET; and (c) adopt or make any decision (including a decision in the nature of a determination), direction or order in relation to proceedings before the Tribunal before the relevant day (including so as to make a decision or determination, or a direction or order, in relation to proceedings fully heard before the relevant day); and (d) take other steps to promote or ensure the smoothest possible transition from 1 jurisdiction to another in connection with the operation of this section. Statutes Amendment (SACAT) Act 2019, Pt 11 88—Transitional provisions (1) Any proceedings before the South Australian Employment Tribunal under the principal Act immediately before the relevant day that have proceeded to a listing will, unless the President of the Tribunal and the President of the South Australian Employment Tribunal otherwise agree, continue and be completed in all respects under the principal Act as if this Part had not come into operation. (2) A decision arising out of any proceedings under subsection (1) will take effect as if it were a decision of the South Australian Employment Tribunal under the principal Act (including for the purposes of exercising any rights of review or appeal). (3) In relation to proceedings before the South Australian Employment Tribunal under the principal Act immediately before the relevant day that have not proceeded to a listing, the proceedings will, subject to such directions as the President of the Tribunal thinks fit, be transferred to the Tribunal where they may proceed as if they had been commenced before the Tribunal. (4) Without limiting a preceding subsection, a right to make any application or referral, or to seek a review, under the principal Act with respect to any matter in existence before the relevant day, with the effect that the relevant proceedings would have been commenced before the South Australian Employment Tribunal, will be exercised as if this Part had been in operation before the right arose, so that the relevant proceedings may be commenced instead before the Tribunal. (5) The Tribunal may— (a) receive in evidence any transcript of evidence in proceedings before the South Australian Employment Tribunal, and draw any conclusions of fact from that evidence that appear proper; and (b) adopt any findings or determinations of the South Australian Employment Tribunal that may be relevant to proceedings before the Tribunal; and (c) adopt or make any decision (including a decision in the nature of a determination), direction or order in relation to proceedings before the South Australian Employment Tribunal before the relevant day (including so as to make a decision or determination, or a direction or order, in relation to proceedings fully heard before the relevant day); and (d) take other steps to promote or ensure the smoothest possible transition from 1 jurisdiction to another in connection with the operation of this section. (6) Nothing in a preceding subsection affects proceedings under section 100 of the principal Act. (7) An exemption granted by the South Australian Employment Tribunal under section 92 of the principal Act in force immediately before the relevant day will, on and from the relevant day, be taken to be an exemption granted by the Tribunal. (8) A member of a panel established under Schedule 1 of the principal Act (as in force immediately before the relevant day) holding office immediately before the relevant day will cease to hold office on the relevant day and any contract of employment, agreement or arrangement relating to the office held by that member is terminated by force of this subsection at the same time (and no right of action will arise against a Minister or the State on account of that termination). (9) In this section— principal Act means the Equal Opportunity Act 1984; relevant day means the day on which this Part comes into operation; Tribunal means the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
