11  Operation of laws—things done by, or in relation to, directors of the APVMA

(1) If, before the commencement time, a thing was done by, or in relation to, the directors of the APVMA, then, for the purposes of the operation of any law after the commencement time, the thing is taken to have been done by, or in relation to, the Chief Executive Officer.

(2) For the purposes of subitem (1), a thing done before the commencement time under a provision amended by Schedule 1 to this Act has effect from that time as if it were done under that provision as amended. However, this is not taken to change the time at which the thing was actually done.

(3) The Minister may, by writing, determine that subitem (1):
 (a) does not apply in relation to a specified thing done by, or in relation to, the directors of the APVMA; or
 (b) applies as if the reference in that subitem to the Chief Executive Officer were a reference to the Commonwealth.
A determination under this subitem has effect accordingly.

(4) The regulations may provide for a thing specified in a determination under paragraph (3)(a) to be taken to have been done by, or in relation to, a person or body other than the Chief Executive Officer or the Commonwealth.

(5) To avoid doubt, for the purposes of this item, doing a thing includes making an instrument.

(6) A determination made under subitem (3) is not a legislative instrument.
