Illustration for Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006

You need to know that the Governor-General can make an order about when some parts of the law start. The New Zealand Law Society must do the jobs of the New Zealand Society of Conveyancers for a certain time. This time starts when the order says some parts of the law, like sections 79, 81, and 82, begin. You can exercise the powers of the New Zealand Society of Conveyancers during this time. These powers are in the law, including sections 81 and 82. The Governor-General can change the end date of this time. An order made under this part of the law is secondary legislation, which has its own rules, see Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019 for more information.
