Auctioneers Act 2013

2: Commencement

You could also call this:

“When the law about auctioneers starts working”

You might be wondering when this law starts to work. Well, it’s pretty simple! The Auctioneers Act 2013 begins to work the day after the Queen (or her representative) says it’s okay. This is called getting ‘Royal assent’. So, if the Queen approved it today, the law would start tomorrow. This means that as soon as the law gets this special approval, it doesn’t wait around - it gets to work right away!
