LEGAL PROFESSION UNIFORM LAW APPLICATION ACT 2014 - SECT 7

Disallowance of Uniform Regulations

    (1)     Section 15(1) and Part 5 (except sections 21(1)(ha) and (j)) of the Subordinate Legislation Act 1994 apply to a Uniform Regulation as if—

        (a)     the Uniform Regulation were a statutory rule within the meaning of that Act; and

        (b)     a reference in section 15(1) or 23(2)(a)(ii) of that Act to the publication of notice of the making of the statutory rule in the Government Gazette under section 17(2) of that Act were a reference to the later of—

              (i)     the publication of the Uniform Regulation under section 418 of the Legal Profession Uniform Law (Victoria); and

              (ii)     the day this section comes into operation.

Note

Section 15(1) of the Subordinate Legislation Act 1994 requires that a statutory rule be laid before each House of Parliament. Part 5 of that Act provides for the suspension or disallowance of statutory rules in certain circumstances.

    (2)     If a Uniform Regulation is disallowed in whole or in part under the Subordinate Legislation Act 1994 , then despite anything to the contrary in that Act, the disallowed Regulation does not, or the disallowed part does not, cease to have effect in this jurisdiction unless the disallowed Regulation, or disallowed part, is disallowed in a majority of the participating jurisdictions.

    (3)     In such a case, the disallowed Regulation, or disallowed part, ceases to have effect on the date that Regulation or part is disallowed in the last of the participating jurisdictions forming the majority of participating jurisdictions.
