2  Application of amendments
(1) The amendments made by Schedule 1 apply in relation to a service offence committed by a person on or after the commencement day.
(2) The amendments made by Schedule 1 apply in relation to a service offence committed by a person before the commencement day if:
 (a) before the commencement day, the person had not been charged with the service offence under the old Defence Force Discipline Act; or
 (b) before the commencement day, the person had been charged with the service offence under the old Defence Force Discipline Act, but neither a summary authority nor the AMC had taken, or had purportedly taken, any action in relation to the charge; or
 (c) the amendments apply because of the operation of the transitional provisions of Part 2 of this Schedule.
Note: The transitional provisions deal with particular situations where a person had been charged with a service offence before the commencement day, but the amendments are to apply (for example, because action in relation to the offence is underway but had not been completed on or before the commencement day).
