References to ASIC Law and ASIC Regulations

65. References to ASIC Law and ASIC Regulations



(1) The object of this section is to help ensure that, so far as possible-



   (a)  the bodies established by the ASIC Act and the staff of those bodies,
        can perform functions and exercise powers; and



   (b)  persons can have dealings with those bodies-

as if the ASIC Act, the ASIC Law of Victoria and the ASIC Law of each other
State, constituted a single national ASIC Law applying of its own force
throughout Australia.

(2) Subject to this section, a reference in an instrument to the ASIC Law, or
to the ASIC Regulations, is to be taken, for the purposes of the laws of
Victoria-

   (a)  to be a reference to the ASIC Law, or to the ASIC Regulations, of
        Victoria; and



   (b)  to include a separate reference to the ASIC Law, or to the ASIC
        Regulations, of each jurisdiction other than Victoria.



(3) Subsection (2) has effect except so far as the contrary intention appears
in the instrument, or the context of the reference otherwise requires.

(4) Without limiting subsection (3), subsection (2) does not apply in relation
to a reference expressed as a reference to the ASIC Law, or to the ASIC
Regulations, of a jurisdiction.



(5) In this section-

instrument means-

   (a)  an Act or an instrument made under an Act; or

   (b)  a law of Victoria or an instrument made under such a law; or

   (c)  an award or other industrial determination or order, or an industrial
        agreement; or

   (d)  any other order (whether executive, judicial or otherwise); or

   (e)  a notice, certificate or licence; or

   (f)  an agreement; or

   (g)  an application made, information laid, affidavit sworn, or warrant
        issued, for any purpose; or

   (h)  an indictment, presentment, summons or writ; or

   (i)  any other pleading in, or process issued in connection with, a legal
        or other proceeding; or

   (j)  any other document whatever.
