FACT SHEET Promissory Oaths Bill 2015 & Promissory Oaths (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2015 The Promissory Oaths Bill 2015 and the Promissory Oaths (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2015 (the Bills) seek to remove any doubt as to the validity of the appointments of Magistrates, Coroners and Justices of the Peace, as well as the past exercise of powers and functions by those holding those offices. It also seeks to repeal the Promissory Oaths Act 1869 and replace it with a new Act that modernises the law in respect to the taking of oaths and affirmations. Page 1 of 1
