Estate Agents Act 1980 - SECT 16C

Transitional provision concerning former sub-agents

16C. Transitional provision concerning former sub-agents



(1) For the purposes of this Act, any period during which a person was
employed as a licensed sub-agent before section 11 of the Estate Agents
(Amendment) Act 1994 came into operation is to be regarded as a period during
which the person was employed as an agent's representative.

(2) Any person who was employed as a licensed sub-agent immediately before
section 11 of the Estate Agents (Amendment) Act 1994 came into operation is
deemed to be eligible to be employed as an agent's representative for as long
as he or she continues to be employed as an agent's representative by the
employer employing him or her immediately before section 11 came into
operation.

(3) However, subsection (2) ceases to apply to a person if, as a result of an
event occurring after section 11 of the Estate Agents (Amendment) Act 1994
came into operation, subsection (2) becomes the only reason the person is
still eligible to be an agent's representative.

contrary intention appears.
