8 Effect of things done or omitted to be done under or in relation to rights and liabilities
Any act or thing done or omitted to be done before or after the commencement of this section under or in relation to a right or liability conferred, imposed or affected by section 6—
has the same effect, and gives rise to the same consequences, for the purposes of any written or other law; and
is to be regarded as always having had the same effect, and given rise to the same consequences, for the purposes of any written or other law—
as if it were done, or omitted to be done, to give effect to, or under the authority of, or in reliance on, a valid judgment of the Supreme Court.
For the purposes of an enforcement law, any act or thing done or omitted to be done before or after the commencement of this section gives rise to the same consequences, and is to be regarded as always having given rise to the same consequences, as if each ineffective judgment were a valid judgment of the Supreme Court given in or in relation to the proceeding in or in relation to which the ineffective judgment was given or recorded.
In this section—
enforcement law means a provision of a law (other than a law relating to contempt of court) that sets out a consequence for a person if the person—
contravenes; or
acts in a specified way while there is in force—
a judgment, or a particular kind of judgment, given by a court.
