Thoroughbred Racing Act 1996

The AJCPC is not authorised to exercise any of its functions under this Act until the Minister has by order published in the Gazette authorised it to assume those functions. Such an order takes effect on the day it is published in the Gazette or on such later day as may be specified in the order.

More than one order may be made under this clause at different times so as to authorise the AJCPC to assume different functions at different times.

The operation of the whole of Part 4 (Appeal Panel) of this Act is deferred until the AJCPC is authorised (as provided by this clause) to exercise its functions under that Part. The repeal by this Act of section 32 (Appeals) of the Australian Jockey Club Act 1873 does not have effect until the AJCPC is authorised (as provided by this clause) to exercise its functions under Part 4 of this Act.

Until any particular function is authorised to be exercised by the AJCPC, the function (to the extent that it is a function of the AJC immediately before the commencement of this clause) remains a function of the AJC and may continue to be exercised by the AJC until the AJCPC is authorised to assume it by order under this clause.

An amendment made by Schedule 2 that operates to confer a function on the AJCPC or remove a function from the AJC does not have effect until that function is authorised (as provided by this clause) to be exercised by the AJCPC.

The AJC does not cease to have a function under section 13(3) while the function may, under this clause, continue to be exercised by the AJC.
