Freedom of Information (Public Opinion Polls)

Freedom of Information (Miscellaneous) Amendment
Act 2001
37—Transitional provisions

(2) An information statement or an information summary in force under Part
5A of the Local Government Act 1934 immediately before the repeal of
that Part by this Act will continue and have effect under the Freedom of
Information Act 1991 as if it had been prepared under that
Act.
(3) An application or proceeding commenced under Part 5A of the Local
Government Act 1934 that has not been finally determined immediately
before the repeal of that Part by this Act may be continued and completed as if
that repeal had not been effected.
Freedom of Information (Miscellaneous) Amendment Act
2004
13—Transitional provision
(1) Subject to subsection (2), an amendment to the principal Act effected
by a provision of this Act applies in relation to an application under the

the principal Act, if the application or proceedings are determined after the

only applies in relation to determinations made on applications lodged under
Parts 3 and 4 of the principal Act after the commencement of section 6 of this

(3) If, before the commencement of this subsection, a document ceased to
be an exempt document under subclause (4) of clause 6 of Schedule 1 of the
principal Act (as in force immediately before the commencement of section 11 of
this Act) because the period of 30 years referred to in that subclause had

be taken to have continued to be an exempt document under that clause (whether

Statutes Amendment (SACAT)
Act 2014
63—Transitional provisions
(1) In this section—
principal Act means the Freedom of Information
Act 1991;
relevant day means the day on which this Part comes into
operation;
Tribunal means the South Australian Civil and Administrative
Tribunal.
(2) A right of appeal under Part 5 Division 2 of the principal
Act in existence before the relevant day (but not exercised before that day)
will be exercised as if this Part had been in operation before that right arose,
so that the relevant proceedings may be commenced before the Tribunal rather
than the District Court.
(3) Nothing in this section affects any proceedings before the District
Court commenced before the relevant day.
