Illustration for Commerce Act 1986

When you look at the law, some old rules are changed or removed. The rules listed in Schedule 2 are changed as shown in that schedule. You can see what changes are made by looking at the schedule.

Some old rules are completely removed from the law. The rules listed in Schedule 3 are removed. You can see what rules are removed by looking at the schedule.

Some regulations and orders are also removed from the law. The ones listed in Schedule 4 are removed. You can see what regulations and orders are removed by looking at the schedule.

If someone did something wrong before the new law started, they can still get in trouble. The new law does not change what happened before it started. You can still be charged with an offence that happened before the new law started.

When you read other laws, you might see a reference to the Examiner of Trade Practices and Prices. This should be read as a reference to the Secretary of Trade and Industry instead. This change helps make the laws consistent and easier to understand.
