Utilities Access Act 2010

How Code made and administered

13: Effect of commencement or revocation of Code

You could also call this:

"What happens to settled things when the rules change"

Illustration for Utilities Access Act 2010

When a Code starts or stops being used, it does not affect things that were already settled. You can think of a Code as a set of rules, and when these rules change, it is called a revocation or amendment. The Code taking effect or being revoked or amended should not change any processes, notices, conditions, or other matters that were previously settled.
