26  Validation of acts etc.

(1) In this item:

amending determination means the determination made under the old Act on 12 December 1995 that purported to amend the original determination.

original determination means the determination made under the old Act on 24 December 1993 that, according to the determination, may be cited as Native Title (Notices) Determination No. 1 of 1993.

(2) If:
 (a) before or after the commencement of this item, anything was or is done, or not done, in reliance or purported reliance on a notification or giving of notice; and
 (b) the notification or giving of notice took place in the way set out in:
 (i) the original determination; or
 (ii) the original determination as amended by the amending determination;
then the doing of the thing, or failure to do the thing, is not ineffective, and is taken never to have been ineffective, for the purposes of the Native Title Act 1993 merely because the original determination was not laid before each House of the Parliament within 15 sitting days of that House after its meeting.

Note: Under section 214 of the Native Title Act 1993, as in force at the time the original determination was made, the original determination was a disallowable instrument for the purposes of section 46A of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901, as in force at that time, which meant that it was required under that Act, as then in force, to be tabled.
