182—Transitional provisions

(1) A right of appeal under section 10A of the principal Act in existence before the relevant day (but not exercised before that day) will be exercised as if this Part had been in operation before that right arose subject to the following provisions:

(a) if proceedings are yet to be commenced under section 10A(1) of the principal Act (as in existence immediately before the relevant day)—the relevant proceedings may be commenced before the Tribunal rather than by making application to the appeal board under that section;

(b) if proceedings are yet to be commenced under section 10A(4) of the principal Act (as in existence immediately before the relevant day)—the relevant proceedings may be commenced before the Tribunal as a review of a decision of the appeal board rather than by making application to the Minister under that section.

(2) Nothing in subsection (1) affects any proceedings commenced before the relevant day.

(3) A member of the Mines and Works Appeal Board holding office immediately before the day on which this subsection comes into operation will cease to hold office on that day and any contract of employment, agreement or arrangement relating to the office held by that member is terminated by force of this subsection at the same time.

(4) In this section—

principal Act means the Mines and Works Inspection Act 1920;

relevant day means the day on which this Part comes into operation;

Tribunal means the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal established under the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013.
