Commonwealth Consolidated Acts

COMPETITION AND CONSUMER ACT 2010 - SECT 56BM

Object

  (1)   The object of this section is for Division   5 of Part   XI to apply to a civil penalty provision of the consumer data rules in a corresponding way to the way that Division applies to a provision of Part   2 - 2 of the Australian Consumer Law.

Note:   That Division is about infringement notices issued for alleged contraventions of provisions of the Australian Consumer Law.

Extended application of Division   5 of Part   XI etc.

  (2)   Division   5 of Part   XI, and any other provision of this Act that relates to that Division, also apply in relation to a civil penalty provision of the consumer data rules as if the substitutions in the following table were made.

  (3)   To avoid doubt, Division   2 of Part   XI does not limit the application of section   56GF (about constitutional basis) to the extended application of Division   5 of Part   XI as described in this section.
