21  Validation of past rights and liabilities

(1) This item applies if, and during the period when, the rights and liabilities of a person under a Child Support Act were different from the rights and liabilities that the person would have had under that Act because:
 (a) the Child Support Act was amended, before the commencement of this item, by one or more of the Acts mentioned in subitem 19(3) in relation to the maintenance of exnuptial children; and
 (b) Western Australia did not adopt the Child Support Act, as so amended.

(2) During that period, the rights and liabilities of the person are, by force of this item, declared to be, and always to have been, the same as if:
 (a) the Child Support Act, as so amended, did not extend to Western Australia; and
 (b) the Child Support Act continued to extend to Western Australia in relation to the maintenance of exnuptial children as if those amendments had not been made.
