(1) Where, upon a place becoming or having become a Commonwealth place, a law
of a State ceases or ceased to have effect in or in relation to that place-

   (a)  the previous operation of that law or anything duly done or suffered
        under that law is not affected;

   (b)  any right, privilege, obligation or liability acquired, accrued or
        incurred under that law is not affected;

   (c)  any penalty, forfeiture or punishment incurred in respect of an
        offence committed against that law is not affected;

   (d)  any investigation, legal proceeding or remedy in respect of any right,
        privilege, obligation, liability, penalty, forfeiture or punishment
        referred to in either of the last two preceding paragraphs is not
        affected; and

   (e)  any such investigation, legal proceeding or remedy may be instituted,
        continued or enforced, and any such penalty, forfeiture or punishment
        may be imposed, as if the law had not so ceased to have effect.

(2) Subject to subsection (3), when a place ceases or has ceased to be a
Commonwealth place at a particular time the laws of the State in force at that
particular time apply in or in relation to that place as if those laws had
come into operation at that particular time and every Act, whether passed
before or after the commencement of this Act, and every instrument made or
having effect under any such Act, shall be read and construed as if it
provided expressly that it was intended to so apply.

(3) When a place ceases or has ceased to be a Commonwealth place at a
particular time all persons things and circumstances appointed or created by
or under the applied provisions in or in relation to that place or existing or
continuing under the applied provisions in or in relation to that place
immediately before the applied provisions cease or ceased to have effect in or
in relation to that place by reason of that place ceasing or having ceased to
be a Commonwealth place shall under and subject to the laws of the State
continue or shall be deemed to have continued to have the same status
operation and effect as they respectively would have had if they had been
appointed or created or existed or continued under the laws of the State.
