The new law received royal assent at the end of November and is now a done deal, though it hasn't actually come into effect yet and there will inevitably be legal challenges.
- k-mcgrady 10y ago>> "it hasn't actually come into effect yet" I believe some of it has already come into effect. According to s. 272[1] several sections come into effect on the day the Act is passed and another few after a period of two months.

- Silhouette 10y agoFair point, though IIRC those sections are the technicalities about definitions and the like. The real substance isn't due to start doing anything until some next year, as I understand it.
- k-mcgrady 10y agoI just looked through it and you're right, it's mainly definitions and technicalities. Nothing substantial.
