39  Validation of things purportedly done under the Principal Act

Scope
(1) This item applies to a thing purportedly done under the Principal Act before the commencement of this item, to the extent that the thing purportedly done would, apart from this item, be invalid because:
 (a) a person was not appointed or validly appointed as the Registrar under subsection 5(1) of the Principal Act; or
 (b) a person was not appointed or validly appointed to act as the Registrar under section 6 of the Principal Act; or
 (c) paragraph 8(2)(b) of the Principal Act was not complied with.

Validation
(2) The thing purportedly done is as valid and effective, and is taken always to have been as valid and effective, as it would have been:
 (a) for paragraph (1)(a)—as if:
 (i) the person had been validly appointed under subsection 5(1) of the Principal Act; and
 (ii) subsection 5(2) of the Principal Act had not been enacted; or
 (b) for paragraph (1)(b)—as if:
 (i) the person had been validly appointed under section 6 of the Principal Act; and
 (ii) the words "who is engaged under the Public Service Act 1999" had not been included in section 6 of the Principal Act; or
 (c) for paragraph (1)(c)—as if paragraph 8(2)(b) of the Principal Act had not been enacted.
