COMPETITION AND CONSUMER ACT 2010 - SECT 56BM

Object

             (1)  The object of this section is for Division 5 of Part XI to apply to a civil penalty provision of the consumer data rules in a corresponding way to the way that Division applies to a provision of Part 2-2 of the Australian Consumer Law.

Note:          That Division is about infringement notices issued for alleged contraventions of provisions of the Australian Consumer Law.

Extended application of Division 5 of Part XI etc.

             (2)  Division 5 of Part XI, and any other provision of this Act that relates to that Division, also apply in relation to a civil penalty provision of the consumer data rules as if the substitutions in the following table were made.

             (3)  To avoid doubt, Division 2 of Part XI does not limit the application of section 56GF (about constitutional basis) to the extended application of Division 5 of Part XI as described in this section.
