Administrative Decisions Review Act 1997

This clause applies to a decision of an abolished body in respect of which:

an appeal to a court under a provision of another Act could have been lodged immediately before the commencement of the amendment of the provision by an appeal amendment, and

no such appeal was pending before the court immediately before the commencement of the appeal amendment.

Despite anything in section 30 of the Interpretation Act 1987 or any other law, no appeal lies from a decision to which this clause applies to the court that, immediately before the commencement of the appeal amendment, had jurisdiction to hear and determine an appeal from such a decision.

However:

a decision to which this clause applies is taken to be an appealable decision of the ADT for the purposes of Part 1 of Chapter 7, and

a party to the proceedings before the abolished body concerned is taken to have been a party to proceedings in which an appealable decision of the ADT was made.

In this clause, appeal amendment means an amendment to a provision of another Act by the amending Act the effect of which is to remove a right to appeal to a court from a decision of an abolished body.
