“Old cases continue under old rules”

If you started any applications, actions, appeals, or other matters under the old Local Government Act 1974 before this new law came into effect, don’t worry. These will still be handled by the court or the Commission, just as they would have been under the old law. This applies to anything that hasn’t been finished yet. The court or Commission will deal with these matters as if the new law hadn’t been passed. This ensures that your ongoing matters are not disrupted by the change in law.
