4  Effect of things done etc. under or in relation to rights and liabilities
(1) Any act or thing done or omitted to be done before, at or after the commencement of this Schedule in relation to a right or liability conferred, imposed or affected by item 3:
 (a) has the same effect, and gives rise to the same consequences, for the purposes of any written or other law; and
 (b) is taken always to have had the same effect, and to have given rise to the same consequences, for the purposes of any written or other law;
as if it were done or omitted to be done to give effect to, or under the authority of or in reliance on, an order made under section 65D of the Family Law Act 1975.
(2) However, if, before the commencement of this Schedule, a court purported to convict a person of an offence against an enforcement law on the basis that an affected order was a valid order, nothing in this item is to be taken to validate or confirm that conviction.
(3) An enforcement law is a provision of a law of the Commonwealth, other than a law relating to contempt of court, that sets out a consequence for a person if the person:
 (a) contravenes; or
 (b) acts in a specified way while there is in force;
an order, or a particular kind of order, made by a court exercising federal jurisdiction (whether or not the provision also applies to other orders of courts).
