Section 1373 — Corporations Act 2001: References to things taken or deemed to be the case etc.

If: (a) a law of a State or Territory in this jurisdiction had effect before the commencement: (i) to take or deem something to have happened or to be the case, or to have a particular effect, under or for the purposes of the old corporations legislation of that State or Territory (or a provision of that legislation); or (ii) to give something an effect for the purposes of the old corporations legislation of that State or Territory (or a provision of that legislation) that it would not otherwise have had; and (b) that effect was continuing immediately before the commencement; this Part applies as if that thing had actually happened or were actually the case, or as if that thing actually had that other effect. Note: So, for example, if a provision of the old corporations legislation, or another law, of a State or Territory in this jurisdiction took a company to be registered under Part 2A.2 of the old Corporations Law of the State or Territory, this Part applies as if the company were actually registered under that Part.
