BROADCASTING AMENDMENT ACT (No. 3) 1987 No. 184 of 1987 - SECT 40

Continued application of previous Act
40. Section 98 of the Principal Act is amended by adding at the end the
following subsections:

"(5) Without limiting the generality of paragraph (1) (a) but subject to
subsection (2), the previous Act continues to apply in relation to the holding
by the Tribunal of an inquiry for the purposes of determining standards to be
observed by licensees in respect of the broadcasting or televising of programs
if that inquiry commenced before the commencement date.

"(6) Where the Tribunal had commenced an inquiry, before the commencement
date, for the purposes of determining standards to be observed by licensees in
respect of the broadcasting or televising of programs, any standard determined
by the Tribunal after the commencement date in the course of, or as a result
of, the inquiry applies, by force of this subsection, in relation to, and in
relation to holders of, new system licences as if the standard had been
determined under the amended Act.

"(7) The amendments made by this Act do not apply in relation to an inquiry
conducted by the Tribunal for the purpose of determining whether to cancel the
registration of a person under section 91C of the Principal Act if that
inquiry commenced before the commencement date.".
