8. Operation of Acts

This Act does not affect the operation of the provisions of any other Act.

Note

The Commonwealth Act includes additional subsections relating to the operation of the Corporations Act 2001 of the Commonwealth, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001 of the Commonwealth and certain laws in force in the Australian Capital Territory. It also provides for the regulations to have continued effect (until amended) after the commencement of the Commonwealth section.

This section limits s 4, which applies (with few exceptions) the provisions of this Act to court proceedings in Victoria.

By virtue of this provision, hearings conducted pursuant to specific legislation, such as the Bail Act 1977 and the Family Violence Act 2008, continue to apply the specific evidentiary provisions contained in those Acts.

The Criminal Procedure Act 2009 modifies a number of provisions of the UEA. See also s 52 regarding rules of law and practice relating to the introduction of evidence.
