Functions and powers of authorised officers
19 Functions and powers of authorised officers
An authorised officer may, on or after the relevant day, perform a function or exercise a power under this Act in relation to anything arising under or relevant to the repealed Livestock Act before the relevant day (and this Act will apply in relation to the performance or exercise of such a function or power as if a reference to this
Act included a reference to the repealed Livestock Act).
Without limiting subclause (1)—
a reference in this Act to a contravention of this Act will be taken to include a reference to a contravention of the repealed Livestock
Act; and
a reference in this Act to an offence against this Act will be taken to include a reference to an offence against the repealed Livestock
Act.
Any action taken or information acquired under this Act (including on account of the operation of this clause) may be used for the purposes of the repealed Livestock Act (insofar as it may be relevant to an act, omission or circumstance occurring before the relevant day).
Nothing in this clause affects or limits any action that may be taken under or with respect to the repealed Livestock Act by virtue of the operation of any other Act or law.
