Accident Compensation Act 2001

Provisions relating to transition from competitive provision of workplace accident insurance - Savings in respect of other ongoing matters under 1998 Act

347: Saving in respect of 2000 Act

You could also call this:

"Old rules from a previous law are still used in some cases"

This part of the law keeps some rules from an older law (called the 2000 Act) working, even though they've been replaced. These old rules are still important for some things.

You should know that some parts of the 2000 Act (sections 5(1) to (3), 7, 10, 11, and 12) still matter for this part of the new law. They might need to be changed a bit to fit, but they're still used.

Also, if ACC or an insurance company made promises under section 7 of the 2000 Act, they still have to keep those promises. The new law doesn't let them off the hook for what they agreed to do before.
