"What happens to disciplinary proceedings that started before the new law came into effect"

Illustration for Real Estate Agents Act 2008

You are dealing with disciplinary proceedings that started before a new law came into effect. These proceedings will continue as if the old law was still in place. They will be finished under the old law's rules. You need to know that if a licence is cancelled or a licensee is suspended, the Authority will be told. The Authority will then take the necessary action under the new law. This action will be based on the decision made under the old law. The first part of this rule is affected by the second part. This means that the Authority's action is important for completing the disciplinary proceedings. You should look at the old law, the Real Estate Agents Act 1976, for more information on sections 94, 95, and 99, as well as section 97, section 102, and section 70.
