Note about numbering

These Regulations are made under the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001. To assist users of these Regulations, the structure and numbering of these Regulations follow, as far as possible, the pattern of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Regulations 1990 that were made under the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 1989. Some gaps in the numbering of these Regulations appear because there were gaps in the numbering of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Regulations 1990. In addition, a commencement provision that was not in the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Regulations 1990 is included in these Regulations.
