448A: Transitional provisions relating to rules

You could also call this:

"Old rules still apply until new ones take over"

Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

When new rules start, some old rules will still apply. You need to know that these old rules were made under section 448. They will keep working until they are officially cancelled or new rules replace them.

Some of these old rules are about how the Youth Court works. These rules will keep working as if they were made under section 448(1). This means the Youth Court will keep following these rules.

Other old rules are about how the High Court and District Court work. The High Court rules will keep working until new rules, mentioned in section 448(2)(a), start. The District Court rules will keep working until new rules, mentioned in section 448(2)(b), start.
