Background

Under the Legislation Act 2003, all class orders are repealed automatically or 鈥榮unset鈥� after a period unless ob体育 takes action to preserve them. This ensures that legislative instruments like class orders are kept up-to-date and only remain in force while they are fit for purpose and relevant.

ob体育 is Australia鈥檚 corporate, markets and financial services regulator.
