7. Existing Laws

(1) All law in force immediately before the effective date continues in force and shall be construed with the alterations, adaptations, qualifications and exceptions necessary to bring it into conformity with this Constitution.

(2) If, with respect to any particular matter -

  • (a) a law that was in effect immediately before the effective date assigns responsibility for that matter to a particular State organ or public officer; and
  • (b) a provision of this Constitution that is in effect assigns responsibility for that matter to a different State organ or public officer,

The provisions of this Constitution prevail to the extent of the conflict.
