3     Legislation history

This Act was originally a NSW Act—the Conveyancing Act 1919 No 6 (NSW).

Provisions of the Conveyancing Act 1919 (NSW) were applied, in a modified form, as ACT laws by the following Acts (now repealed):

              •     the Conveyancing Act 1951

              •     the Trustee Act 1957

              •     the Law of Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1958.

Under the Interpretation Act 1967 (repealed), s 65 all former NSW Acts in force in the ACT immediately before 10 November 1999 (including the provisions of this Act) became, for all purposes, laws made by the ACT Legislative Assembly. This completed the process of making the former NSW Act fully into an ACT law.

It also made the provisions of the Conveyancing Act 1919 (NSW) in force in the ACT immediately before 10 November 1999 a single ACT law (the consolidated 1919 Act). This republication is a republication of the consolidated 1919 Act.

The provisions of the following former NSW Acts were also remade by the Statute Law Amendment Act 2001 (No 2) as part of the consolidated 1919 Act:

              •     the Partition Act 1900

              •     the Apportionment Act 1905

              •     the Dedication by User Limitation Act 1902.

These Acts had been repealed in NSW and their provisions included (in a remade form) in the Conveyancing Act 1919 (NSW).

Editorial changes

The Legislation Act 2001, part 11.3 authorises the Parliamentary Counsel to make editorial amendments and other changes of a formal nature when preparing a law for republication. Editorial changes do not change the effect of the law, but have effect as if they had been made by an Act commencing on the republication date (see Legislation Act 2001, s 115 and s 117). The changes are made if the Parliamentary Counsel considers they are desirable to bring the law into line, or more closely into line, with current legislative drafting practice.

This republication does not include amendments made under part 11.3 (see endnote 1).

If a provision of the republished law has not commenced or is affected by an uncommenced amendment, the symbol  U  appears immediately before the provision heading. The text of the uncommenced provision or amendment appears only in the last endnote.

Modifications

If a provision of the republished law is affected by a current modification, the symbol  M  appears immediately before the provision heading. The text of the modifying provision appears in the endnotes. For the legal status of modifications, see Legislation Act 2001, section 95.
