(1) In this section—

principal Act means the Residential Parks Act 2007;

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

Residential Tenancies Tribunal means the Tribunal established under the Residential Tenancies Act 1995;

Tribunal means the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal established under the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013.

(2) A decision (including a decision in the nature of a declaration), direction or order of the Residential Tenancies Tribunal under the principal Act in force immediately before the relevant day will, on and from the relevant day, be taken to be a decision, direction or order of the Tribunal.

(3) A right to make any application or to seek a review under the principal Act with respect to any matter in existence before the relevant day, with the effect that the relevant proceedings would have been commenced before the Residential Tenancies Tribunal, will be exercised as if this Part had been in operation before the right arose, so that the relevant proceedings may be commenced instead before the Tribunal.

(4) Any proceedings before the Residential Tenancies Tribunal under the principal Act immediately before the relevant day will, subject to such directions as the President of the Tribunal thinks fit, be transferred to the Tribunal where they may proceed as if they had been commenced before the Tribunal.

(5) The Tribunal may—

(a) receive in evidence any transcript of evidence in proceedings before the Residential Tenancies Tribunal, and draw any conclusions of fact from that evidence that appear proper; and

(b) adopt any findings or determinations of the Residential Tenancies Tribunal that may be relevant to proceedings before the Tribunal; and

(c) adopt or make any decision (including a decision in the nature of a declaration), direction or order in relation to proceedings before the Residential Tenancies Tribunal before the relevant day (including so as to make a decision or declaration, or a direction or order, in relation to proceedings fully heard before the relevant day); and

(d) take other steps to promote or ensure the smoothest possible transition from 1 jurisdiction to another in connection with the operation of this section.

(6) The Tribunal may, on application under section 121 of the principal Act made after the relevant date, vary or set aside an order of the Residential Tenancies Tribunal made before the relevant date, provided that the application is made to the Tribunal within 3 months of the making of the order by the Residential Tenancies Tribunal.

(7) Nothing in this section—

(a) affects the ability to register an order of the Residential Tenancies Tribunal made before the relevant day in an appropriate court, as provided for by section 120 of the principal Act before its repeal by this Act; or

(b) affects a right to appeal to the Administrative and Disciplinary Division of the District Court against a decision, direction or order of the Residential Tenancies Tribunal made or given before the relevant day.
