For applying section 169(1)(a) or 170(a) in relation to a person convicted of a new disqualifying offence, it is immaterial when the offence was committed or when the person was convicted of the offence.
Section 240 applies in relation to a person holding a current positive notice who is charged with a new disqualifying offence even if the charge, or the acts or omissions constituting the alleged offence, happened before the commencement.

when a person was convicted of a new disqualifying offence or new serious offence; or
when a charge for a new disqualifying offence, or the acts or omissions constituting the alleged offence, happened.
