FISH MARKETING ACT 1994 - SECT 25

25 Regulations

(1) The Governor may make regulations, not inconsistent with this Act, for or with respect to any matter that by this Act is required or permitted to be prescribed or that is necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving effect to this Act.

(2) In particular, the regulations may contain provisions of a savings or transitional nature consequent on the enactment of this Act or the Fish Marketing Amendment (Deregulation) Act 1997 (including provisions regarding the interpretation of references in any instrument to FMA or any member or employee of FMA).

(3) Any such savings or transitional provision may, if the regulations so provide, take effect from the date of assent to the Act concerned or a later date.

(4) To the extent to which any such savings or transitional provision takes effect from a date that is earlier than the date of its publication in the Gazette, the provision does not operate so as:

(a) to affect, in a manner prejudicial to any person (other than the State or an authority of the State), the rights of that person existing before the date of its publication, or

(b) to impose liabilities on any person (other than the State or an authority of the State) in respect of anything done or omitted to be done before the date of its publication.
