Partnership Law Act 2019

Purpose, overview, and other preliminary provisions

4: Revision Act

You could also call this:

"This law updates how partnership rules are written without changing what they do"

This law is a special type of act called a revision Act. It's meant to update and improve the way the law is written without changing what the law actually does. There are a few important things you should know about this revision Act:

The law says that this revision Act isn't supposed to change how the law works, except for a few small changes that are clearly pointed out.

There's a part of the law called Schedule 2 that tells you about some small changes that have been made. These changes are allowed by another law called the Legislation Act 2012.

There's another part called Schedule 3 that shows you how the old Partnership Act 1908 matches up with this new law. This is there to help you understand the changes, but you shouldn't rely on it as the final word on how the laws match up, especially as time goes on.
