(3) A decision or order of the Administrative and Disciplinary Division of the District Court under Part 4 of the principal Act in force immediately before the relevant day will, on and from the relevant day, be taken to be a decision or order of the Tribunal.

(4) Nothing in this section affects any proceedings before the Administrative and Disciplinary Division of the District Court commenced before the relevant day.

(5) A member of each panel of persons who may sit as assessors established under Schedule 1 of the principal Act (as in force immediately before the relevant day) will cease to hold office on the commencement of this subsection and any contract of employment, agreement or arrangement relating to the office held by that member is terminated by force of this subsection at the same time.

(6) In this section—

principal Act means the Plumbers, Gas Fitters and Electricians Act 1995;

relevant day means the day on which this Part comes into operation;

Tribunal means the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
