Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) If a Product Disclosure Statement for a financial product states or implies that a financial product to which the Statement relates will be able to be traded on a financial market (whether in Australia or elsewhere), the responsible person must only issue or sell a financial product of that kind, pursuant to an application made in response to the Statement, if:
(a) the product is able to be traded on that market; or
(b) an application has, within 7 days after the relevant date (see subsection (3)), been made to the operator of that market for the taking of such action as is necessary to enable financial products of that kind to be traded on that market.
Paragraph (b) ceases to apply to the financial product at the end of the period of 3 months starting on the relevant date.
Note 1: Statements in a Supplementary Product Disclosure Statement are taken to be contained in the Product Disclosure Statement it supplements (see section 1014D).

Note 2: Failure to comply with this subsection is an offence (see subsection 1311(1)).

(b) the product is not able to be traded on that market at the end of 3 months after the relevant date;
then:
(c) an issue or transfer to a person of a financial product of that kind is void if:
(i) the issue or transfer is pursuant to an application made in response to the Statement; or
(ii) the person should have been given the Statement; and
(d) if:
(i) an issue or transfer of a financial product to a person is void because of paragraph (c); and
