15A  Effect of repeal of section 399

(1) To avoid doubt, if, immediately before the commencement of this item, an industrial instrument had no effect because of the operation of section 399 of the pre‑transition Act, the repeal of that section by this Act:
 (a) does not cause the instrument to have effect after that commencement; and
 (b) does not cause any protected award condition to cease to have effect.

(2) In this item:
industrial instrument means an instrument mentioned in subsection 399(3) of the pre‑transition Act, and includes any of the following (except to the extent that they contain protected award conditions):
 (a) a common rule within the meaning of clause 89 of Schedule 6;
 (b) a transitional Victorian reference award within the meaning of Part 7 of that Schedule;
 (c) a transitional award within the meaning of that Schedule, to the extent that subclause 102(1) of that Schedule applies to it.
pre‑transition Act means the Workplace Relations Act 1996 as in force immediately before the commencement of this item.
protected award condition has the meaning it had for the purposes of section 354 of the pre‑transition Act.
