Anti-Discrimination Act 1977

Section 111A (Compensation to offenders in custody—payment to Victims Compensation Fund) as inserted by the Anti-Discrimination Amendment (Offender Compensation) Act 2007 extends to—

an order for the payment of damages made in proceedings before the Tribunal commenced before the commencement of that section but does not extend to such an order made before 29 May 2007, and

an order for the payment of damages made before the commencement of that section (but on or after 29 May 2007) unless the damages concerned have been paid pursuant to the order before the commencement of that section.

If an amount that is the subject of an order referred to in subclause (1) (b) is paid into the Victims Compensation Fund on or after 29 May 2007 (but before the commencement of section 111A), being a payment that would be required to be made by section 111A had that section been in force at the time of the payment—

the payment is validated, and

section 111A applies in respect of the payment as if that section had been in force when the payment was made.

A regulation made pursuant to section 111A (6) can be expressed to extend to an order for the payment of damages made before the commencement of the regulation.
