“Notes on sources of law

“Note 1 The laws in force in the Territory consist of the written law and various unwritten laws known as the principles and rules of common law and equity.

“Note 2 The written law of the Territory consists primarily of laws, known as Acts, made by the Legislative Assembly and earlier laws, previously known as ordinances, made by the Governor-General under the Seat of Government (Administration) Act 1910 (Cwlth).  It also includes regulations, rules of court and other legislative instruments made under specific powers given by Acts.  (Written laws made under an Act are commonly called ‘subordinate’ or ‘delegated’ legislation.)

“Note 3 Before self-government, ordinances were the main form of legislation made for the Territory.  Most of the ordinances in force at self-government have been converted into Acts (see s 34 of the Self-Government Act).  However, the Governor-General retains power to make ordinances for the Territory on a limited number of topics (see s 12 of the Seat of Government (Administration) Act 1910 (Cwlth)).

“Note 4 The written laws in force in the Territory also include the Commonwealth Constitution, Commonwealth Acts, and regulations and other legislative instruments made under Commonwealth Acts. As a general rule, Commonwealth Acts and legislative instruments apply in the ACT in the same way as they apply in other parts of Australia. Commonwealth Acts and instruments prevail over the Acts made by the Legislative Assembly to the extent to which they are inconsistent (see s 28 of the Self-Government Act).

     Former NSW and UK Acts in force in Territory“7A

The written law of the Territory includes the NSW Acts and UK Acts mentioned in Schedule 1.

“Note 1 Section 65 provides that a law mentioned in Schedule 1, to the extent that the law was in force in the Territory immediately before the commencement of that section, is taken to be, for all purposes, a law made by the Legislative Assembly as if it had been enacted by the Assembly.

“Note 2 The Imperial Acts (Substituted Provisions) Act 1986 substituted provisions for certain UK Acts that applied (or may have applied) in the Territory and repealed those UK Acts. Most of the remaining substituted provisions are now set out in Part 12 of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1955.

“Note 3 Section 65 also provides that, to remove any doubt, the remaining substituted provisions are taken to be, for all purposes, laws made by the Legislative Assembly as if they had been enacted by the Assembly.

part 2—notification, numbering and commencement of acts“

1. Notification of Acts

2. If a proposed law has been passed by the Legislative Assembly, the Chief Minister, or a Minister authorised by the Chief Minister, must publish in the Gazette a notice of the proposed law having been passed and the place or places where copies of the law can be purchased.

3. On the day notice of the proposed law is published in the Gazette (the notification day) or as soon as practicable after the notification day, copies of the law must be available for purchase at the place, or each of the places, stated in the notice.

4. If, on the notification day, no copies of the law are available for purchase at the place, or any of the places, stated in the notice, the Chief Minister must present to the Legislative Assembly within 15 sitting days a statement—

   (a)that copies of the law were not so available; and

(b)explaining why they were not available.

1. Failure to comply with subsection (2) or (3) does not affect the validity of the law.

2. Numbering of Acts

   The Acts passed in each year are to be numbered as nearly as practicable in the order in which they are passed.

3. Commencement of Acts on date of notification

   An Act commences on its date of notification except so far as the Act otherwise expressly provides.

  Time of commencement of Acts“10A

If an Act or a provision of an Act commences on a day, it commences at the beginning of the day.

Commencement of naming and commencement provisions on date of notification“10B  

1. The provisions of an Act providing for its name and commencement automatically commence on the date of notification of the Act.

2. This section applies to an Act despite anything in the Act unless the Act expressly provides that it does not apply.

Commencement by notice“10C  

1. If an Act or provisions of an Act are expressed to commence on a day fixed by notice—

   (a)a single day or time may be fixed; or

(b)different days or times may be fixed for different provisions.

1. If the day or time fixed by a notice in the Gazette for the commencement of an Act or a provision of an Act happens before the day the notice is published in the Gazette (the notification day)—

   (a)the notice is valid; but

(b)the Act or provision commences on the notification day.

1. In this section—

   notice includes any instrument (however described).

Separate commencement of amendments“10D  

Any amendment made by a provision of an Act may be given a separate commencement, whether or not the provision is self-contained.

“Examples

1. Each paragraph of a provision of an amending Act may be given a separate commencement.

2. Each item in a schedule to an amending Act may be given a separate commencement.

Automatic commencement of postponed law“10E   

1. In this section—

   notification day, for a postponed law, means the date of notification of—

   (a)if the postponed law is an Act—the Act; or

   (b)if the postponed law is a provision of an Act—the Act that enacts the provision.

   postponed law means an Act or provision of an Act that does not commence on the notification day because a provision of an Act postpones its commencement until a day fixed by a notice or other instrument.

2. If a postponed law has not commenced within 6 months beginning on the notification day, it automatically commences on the first day after that period.

3. This section—

   (a)applies only to a postponed law enacted after 1 January 2000; and

(b)applies to a postponed law unless an Act expressly states it does not apply.

“Example—

    References to enactment and passing of Acts“10F

In an Act, a reference to the enactment or passing of an Act is a reference to that Act having been notified in the Gazette under section 8.

1. References to commencement of Act

   In an Act, a reference to the commencement of the Act, or another Act, (the Act concerned) is a reference to—

   (a)if the provisions of the Act concerned (other than those providing for its name and commencement) commence, or are required to commence, on a single day or at a single time—the commencement of the remaining provisions; or

(b)if paragraph (a) does not apply and the reference is in a provision of the Act concerned—the commencement of the provision; or

(c)in any other case—the commencement of the relevant provision of the Act concerned.”.

Sections 11C, 11D and 12—

Repeal the sections, substitute the following sections:

  Changes of drafting practice not to affect meaning“11C

If—

(a)   a provision of an Act expresses an idea in particular words; and

(b)   a provision of the same Act, or another Act, enacted later appears to express the same idea in different words or in a different way because of a different legislative drafting practice, including, for example the use of—

(i)    a clearer or simpler drafting style; or

(ii)    gender-neutral language;

the ideas must not be regarded as different merely because different words are used or the idea is expressed in a different way.

“11DExamples

If an Act includes an example of the operation of a provision, the example—

(a)is not exhaustive; and

(b)may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision.

    Defined terms—other parts of speech and grammatical forms“11E

“Examples

1. In an Act, the word w is defined in section 10, which is in Part 3 (General concepts).  There is also a signpost definition ‘w—see section 10.’ in the Act’s dictionary.  There is nothing in the Act indicating the intended application of the definition of w.  The definition, therefore, applies to the entire Act.

2. The dictionary to the ABC Act 1999 includes the signpost definition ‘x—see XYZ Act 1998, section 3.’.  There is nothing in the ABC Act 1999 indicating the intended application of the definition of x.  The definition of x in section 3 of the XYZ Act 1998, therefore, applies to the entire ABC Act 1999.

3. In an Act, the word y is defined in section 30, which is not divided into subsections and is in Part 4.  Section 30 begins with the words ‘In this Part’.  The definition of y applies only to Part 4.

4. In an Act, the word z is defined in the dictionary.  The definition provides, in part, that ‘z, in Part 4 (Registration of vehicles), means ...’.  The definition of z applies only to Part 4.

5. A definition in a section of an Act applies only to the section unless the Act provides for the definition to have a broader application.

“Examples

1. Subsection 8 (2) of this Act contains a definition of the notification day as a tagged term.  There is nothing in this Act indicating that the definition applies outside section 8.  The definition, therefore, applies only to section 8.

2. In an Act, the word a is defined in a section, which is not divided into subsections but contains a number of definitions.  The section begins with the words ‘In this Act’.  The definition of a applies to the entire Act.

3. In Part 6 of an Act, the word b is defined in a section, which is not divided into subsections but contains a number of definitions.  The section begins with the words ‘In this Part’.  The definition of b applies to Part 6.

4. In a subsection of a section of an Act, the word c is defined.  The subsection begins with the words ‘In subsection (3)’.  The definition of c applies only to subsection (3) of that section.

   Definitions apply subject to contrary intention“11G

A definition in an Act applies except so far as the contrary intention appears.

   Material that is part of an Act“11H

1. A heading to a chapter, part, division, subdivision, schedule, or another provision (other than a section or subsection), to or of an Act is part of the Act.

9. This section does not prevent the amendment of a note, table or heading mentioned in subsection (1), (2) or (3).

10. However, such a note, table or guide does not become part of the Act because it is amended or inserted by an Act.”.
