4   Application made before commencement
(1)  The Secretary may deal with any application for a licence made under the 1974 Act or a licence or tradesperson’s certificate under the 1980 Act before the commencement of the principal Act as if the relevant Act had not been repealed.
(2)  Schedule 2 to the Act and this Schedule apply to a person who is granted a licence under the 1974 Act or the 1980 Act after the commencement of the principal Act in the same way as it applies to an existing licence holder.
5   Persons disqualified from holding licence under 1974 Act or 1980 Act
(1)  A person who was disqualified from holding a licence or tradesperson’s certificate or from being concerned in the direction, management or conduct of a business under either the 1974 Act or the 1980 Act is taken to have been disqualified from holding a licence (of any type) or from being concerned in the direction, management or conduct of a business under the principal Act.
(2)  Any such disqualification from holding a licence under the principal Act ends when the disqualification would have ended had the relevant Act not been repealed.
6   Joint licence holders
(1)  For the purposes of Schedule 2 to the principal Act, if 2 or more persons jointly held a licence granted under the 1980 Act immediately before the repeal of that Act (a joint licence), each such person is taken to be a holder of a licence, of the type that was held jointly, until the end of the term for which the licence is taken to have been granted under clause 7.
(2)  A person who was a holder of a joint licence may apply for the renewal of the licence. Such an application must, in addition to any other information that is required to accompany an application for the renewal of a licence, be approved by all of the joint holders of the licence and must nominate one person to be the holder of the licence under the principal Act.
7   Duration of licences held by existing licence holders
(1)  A licence (including a tradesperson’s certificate) granted under the 1974 Act or the 1980 Act is taken to have been granted for a term ending on:
(a)  the date specified in the licence, or
(b)  if no date is specified in the licence, the date of the first anniversary of the day on which the licence was granted occurring after the commencement of the principal Act.
(2)  The Secretary may, by notice published in the Gazette, specify a date later than the date determined under this clause for the end of the term of a licence or class of licences (being a date not later than the date of the third anniversary of the commencement of the principal Act) and the licence or class of licences is taken to have been granted for a term ending on the date so specified.
8   References to motor vehicle parts reconstructor’s licence
Despite clause 5 (c) of Schedule 2 to the principal Act, in any document a reference to a motor vehicle parts reconstructor’s licence under the 1974 Act is taken to be a reference to a motor vehicle recycler’s licence granted under the principal Act.
9   Qualifications and experience for tradespersons’ certificates
(1)  This clause applies to a person who, on 1 September 2015:
(a)  was enrolled in a course, or
(b)  had completed a course, but not yet been awarded a certificate for the completion of the course,
if, on the successful completion of the course, the person meets the qualification or experience requirements to be granted a tradesperson’s certificate under the 1980 Act as in force immediately before its repeal.
(1A)  This clause also applies to a person who, on 1 September 2015, had not completed a course but held a qualification that would have met the qualification or experience requirements to be granted a tradesperson’s certificate (that is not a provisional tradesperson’s certificate or subject to any restrictions) under the 1980 Act as in force immediately before its repeal.
Note—
For example, a qualification that would have enabled a person to be granted a non-provisional and unrestricted certificate under the 1980 Act includes an Associate Member grade membership with the Institute of Automotive Mechanical Engineers, together with references from employers covering 6 years of experience.
(2)  A person to whom this clause applies is taken to have the qualifications or experience for the grant of a tradesperson’s certificate in respect of the corresponding class of repair work under the principal Act.
10   Reference to cancelled licence
(1)  A reference to a licence is taken to include a reference to a licence issued under the 1974 Act or the 1980 Act and cancelled for disciplinary reasons under that Act. Such a licence is taken to have been cancelled under the principal Act.
(2)  A reference to the cancellation of a person’s licence in clause 37 of this Regulation includes the cancellation of a licence held by the person under the 1974 Act or the 1980 Act for disciplinary reasons.

Until 1 September 2015, the holder of a licence that was issued under the 1974 Act or the 1980 Act is not guilty of an offence under clause 7 (Licence holder to display signs) of this Regulation if the licence holder continues to comply with the display and signage requirements applicable to the licence holder before the commencement of the principal Act.
12   Record keeping requirements
(1)  Until 1 September 2015, a person who was the holder of a licence which was issued under the 1974 Act or the 1980 Act is not guilty of an offence under Section 100 (Registers must be kept by motor dealers, motor vehicle recyclers and motor vehicle repairers) of the principal Act if the licence holder continues to comply with the record keeping requirements applicable to the licence holder before the commencement of the principal Act.
(2)  Until 1 September 2015, the holder of a licence may keep a register that is required to be kept under section 100 of the principal Act by downloading and printing a copy of the form from the website of NSW Fair Trading.

13   Transitional provision for repairers of trailers and caravans
