Summary

The bill: confers rights and liabilities on all persons who had sought or were granted orders by the Family Court of Australia or the Federal Magistrates Court of Australia in the de facto financial causes jurisdiction and the relevant appellate jurisdiction of the Family Court of Australia between the date the jurisdiction was conferred and when certain proclamations were made; and amends the

Family Law Act 1975
to provide that regulations may be made to provide a date from which the jurisdiction of the Family Court of Australia must not be exercised in certain circumstances.
