Illustration for Commerce Act 1986

If you look at the law about electricity, you will see that some decisions made under the Electricity Act 1992 are important. These decisions can still be used even though the part of the law that made them has been repealed. This means that even though the law has changed, some things that happened before the change can still be used, and this is because of a change made by the Commerce Amendment Act 2008 on 1 April 2009. You can find more information about this change in the law.
