If you look at a law called the Commerce Act 1986, you will find a part that has been repealed. This means it is no longer used. The repealed part is called section 57GB, and it was about what happens when some rules, called thresholds, are changed or replaced. You can find out more about why it was repealed by looking at the Commerce Amendment Act 2008. This change happened on 1 April 2009.

Even though section 57GB is no longer used, it can still be applied in some cases. This is because it was used to set some rules before it was repealed, and those rules are still used in some situations.
