    I  would appreciate some advice as to when the ‘new Act’ come into effect and what are the transitional arrangements, if any?

    Thanks in anticipation

    If by “transitional arrangements” you mean the “savings provisions” that are included with every Act, the new Act basically says that anything that happened under the old Act is deemed to have happened under the new Act.

    To quote Schedule 3, Section 3(1) of the new Act:

    3 General savings
    (1) Any act, matter or thing done or omitted to be done under a provision of the former Act and having any force or effect immediately before the commencement of a provision of this Act that replaces that provision is, on that commencement, taken to have been done or omitted to be done under the provision of this Act.
