(2) If a contravention of the obligation
happens before the repeal, proceedings may be taken or continued against the
person who contravened the obligation, and the person may be punished, as if
the repeal had not happened.
(3) If—
(a) a particular activity of a person
would be a contravention of the obligation if all the acts or omissions
involved happened before the repeal; but
(b) some of the acts or omissions
happen before, and some after, the repeal;
the proceedings may be taken
against the person for the activity as a contravention of the obligation as if
the repeal had not happened.
(4) However, subsection (3) only applies if
proceedings against the person for the activity are commenced—
(a) for an
activity to which the provisions mentioned in subsection (1) (b) , (c) or (f)
relate—within 2 years after the repeal; or
(b) otherwise—within 1 year
after the repeal.
(5) Also, the person can not be convicted of the
contravention under subsection (3) unless the acts or omissions would also be
a contravention of a corresponding duty under this Act if they all happened
after the repeal.
(6) Subsections (3) and (4) do not prevent proceedings
being commenced against the person under this Act solely for any acts of
omissions involved in the activity that happen after the repeal.
