Explanatory note

The object of this Proclamation is to commence provisions of the Financial Services Reform (Consequential Amendments) Act 2002 that amend the Minors (Property and Contracts) Act 1970 and the Property (Relationships) Act 1984. The amendments make it clear that legal practitioners are not required to give financial advice under those Acts for which they would need to be licensed under Chapter 7 of the Corporations Act 2001 of the Commonwealth.
