Transfer of FAC liabilities to the Commonwealth
14 Transfer of FAC liabilities to the Commonwealth
This section applies to a liability of the FAC (other than a liability under a contract).
The Finance Minister may, by written instrument, make any or all of the following declarations:
a declaration that a specified liability ceases to be a liability of the FAC and becomes a liability of the Commonwealth;
a declaration that a specified instrument relating to a specified liability continues to have effect after the liability becomes a liability of the Commonwealth as if a reference in the instrument to the FAC were a reference to the Commonwealth;
a declaration that the Commonwealth becomes the FAC’s successor in law in relation to a specified liability immediately after the liability becomes a liability of the Commonwealth.
A declaration under this section has effect accordingly.
A liability or instrument may be specified by name, by inclusion in a specified class or in any other way.
