13 Jurisdiction in relation to matters occurring before repeal day
Any death or suspected death that occurred (or is suspected to have occurred), or any fire or explosion that occurred, before the repeal day is examinable under this Act if it would have been examinable under the former Act had the former Act not been repealed.
If any such death, suspected death, fire or explosion would have been examinable under the former Act only by the State Coroner or a Deputy State Coroner, it continues to be examinable only by the State Coroner or a Deputy State Coroner under this Act.
Nothing in this clause prevents a matter being examinable under a provision of this Act even if the matter would not have been examinable under the former Act.
