Repealed vexatious litigant provisions continue to apply to pending applications
3 Repealed vexatious litigant provisions continue to apply to pending applications
Subject to subclause (2), any application made under a repealed vexatious litigant provision that is pending immediately before the commencement of this Act may be continued and dealt with under the provision as if the provision had not been repealed by this Act.
If the Supreme Court or the Land and Environment Court makes an order in relation to an application continued by subclause (1) that operates to prevent a person from instituting or continuing proceedings without the leave of the Supreme Court or the Land and Environment Court, that order is, on and from the date it is made, taken to be (and to have effect as if it were) a vexatious proceedings order made under this Act by the Supreme Court or the Land and Environment Court (as the case may be), and may be varied, set aside or reinstated accordingly.
