This Act was originally a Commonwealth ordinance—the Evidence Ordinance 1971 No 4 (Cwlth).
The Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988 (Cwlth), s 34 (4) converted most former Commonwealth ordinances in force in the ACT into ACT enactments. This allowed the ACT Legislative Assembly to amend and repeal the laws. The Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Regulations 1989 No 86 (Cwlth) added this Act to the list of ordinances that were converted into ACT enactments on 1 July 1992.
As with most ordinances in force in the ACT, the name was changed from Ordinance to Act by the Self-Government (Citation of Laws) Act 1989 No 21, s 5 on its conversion to an ACT enactment on 1 July 1992.
Before 11 May 1989, ordinances commenced on their notification day unless otherwise stated (see Seat of Government (Administration) Act 1910 (Cwlth), s 12).
The Evidence Act 1995 (Cwlth) applies to all proceedings in ACT courts until a day fixed by proclamation (see s 4). On the republication date, no day had been fixed by proclamation.
The Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988 (Cwlth), s 28 provides that a provision of an ACT enactment (including the Evidence Act 1971) has no effect to the extent that it is inconsistent with a Commonwealth law in force in the ACT (including the Evidence Act 1995 (Cwlth)), but an ACT provision is taken to be consistent with a Commonwealth law to the extent that it is capable of operating concurrently with the Commonwealth law.
However, the Evidence Act 1995 (Cwlth), s 8 (4) (a) provides that that Act does not affect the operation of the provisions of the Evidence Act 1971 specified in the regulations under the Evidence Act 1995 (Cwlth). The Evidence Regulations (Cwlth) regulation 4, specifies these provisions of the Evidence Act 1971. The Evidence Regulations (Cwlth) can be found at http://scaleplus.law.gov.au.
