Transitional etc provisions associated with Act or
amendments
Wrongs Act Amendment
Act 1986
The amendments made by this Act do not affect a cause of action that arose
before the commencement of this Act.
Wrongs Act Amendment
Act 1987
This Act does not affect a cause of action that arose before its
commencement and does not give rise to a cause of action in relation to an event
that occurred before its commencement.
Statutes Amendment (Motor Vehicles and Wrongs)
Act 1993
The amendments made by this Act do not affect a cause of action, right or
liability that arose before the commencement of this Act.
Statutes Amendment (Motor Accidents)
Act 1998
(1) An amendment made by this Act does not affect a cause of action, right
or liability that arose before the commencement of the amendment.
(2) However, subsection (1) does not derogate from the operation of
section 105 of the Motor Vehicles Act 1959.
Wrongs (Liability and Damages for Personal Injury)
Amendment Act 2002
(1) The amendments made by sections 3 and 4 of this Act are applicable to
an action in which damages are claimed for personal injury if the accident out
of which the action arises occurs on or after the commencement of those
sections.
(2) If the accident out of which the action arises occurred before the
commencement of sections 3 and 4 of this Act, the principal Act (if relevant to
the action) applies as if the amendments made by those sections had not been
made.
Example—
Suppose that A was exposed to asbestos in 1986 but is not diagnosed with
asbestosis until 2004. The assessment of A's damages for personal injury would
be determined in accordance with the law that applied before the commencement of
sections 3 and 4 of the Wrongs Act (Liability and Assessment of Damages for
Personal Injury) Amendment Act 2002.
7—Report on implications of these
amendments
As soon as practicable after the expiration of 2 years from the
commencement of this Act, the Economic and Finance Committee must investigate
and report to the Parliament on the effect of the amendments on the availability
and cost of public liability insurance.
Law Reform (Ipp Recommendations) Act 2004,
Sch 1
(1) The amendments made by the Law Reform (Ipp Recommendations) Act
2004 (the Ipp Recommendations Act) are intended to apply only
prospectively.
(2) If a cause of action that is based wholly or partly on an event that
occurred before the commencement of the Ipp Recommendations Act arises after the
commencement of the Ipp Recommendations Act, it will be determined as if the
amendments had not been enacted.
Example—
Suppose that A was exposed to asbestos in 1990 but a resultant illness is
not diagnosed until after the commencement of the Ipp Recommendations Act. An
action is then brought in negligence in which damages are claimed for personal
injury. The amendments made by the Ipp Recommendations Act would not affect the
determination of liability or the assessment of damages.
(3) As soon as practicable after the expiration of 3 years from the
commencement of this Schedule, the Economic and Finance Committee must
investigate and report to the Parliament on the effect of the Ipp
Recommendations Act on the availability and cost of insurance to
persons.
Statutes Amendment (Domestic Partners) Act
2006
An amendment made by this Act to the Civil Liability Act 1936
applies only in relation to a cause of action that arises after the commencement
of this section.
