You are looking at a part of the Motor Vehicle Sales Act 2003. This part is called Transitional, savings, and related provisions. It has rules that help when the law changes. You can find more information about this in section 5A. This section is about what happens when someone new starts helping to manage a motor vehicle trader. When someone new becomes involved in managing a motor vehicle trader, the trader must tell the authorities. If this happened before a certain date, the trader must follow the old rules, which are in section 40A. This is because the law changed with the Regulatory Systems (Economic Development) Amendment Act 2025. The law says that if someone new started helping to manage a motor vehicle trader before a certain date, the trader does not have to follow the new rules that were made by section 143 of the Regulatory Systems (Economic Development) Amendment Act 2025. Instead, the trader must follow the old rules, which are in section 40A(2). This helps to make sure that the law is fair for everyone.
