Kinds of republications

•	authorised republications to which the Legislation Act 2001 applies
•	unauthorised republications.
The status of this republication appears on the bottom of each page.
Editorial changes
The Legislation (Republication) Act 1996, part 3, division 2 authorised the Parliamentary Counsel to make editorial amendments and other changes of a formal nature when preparing a law for republication.  Editorial changes do not change the effect of the law, but have effect as if they had been made by an Act commencing on the republication date (see Legislation (Republication) Act 1996, s 14 and s 16).  The changes are made if the Parliamentary Counsel considers they are desirable to bring the law into line, or more closely into line, with current legislative drafting practice.

52 	Registration etc without evidence of third-party insurance
(1) 	The Registrar shall not grant or renew the registration of a motor vehicle unless and until there is lodged with him or her a certificate in accordance with the prescribed form issued by an authorised insurer that a third-party policy expressed to commence either upon the date of issue of the certificate or upon a date not later than the date of commencement of the registration or renewal of registration and to terminate upon the date of expiration of such registration or renewal will be issued by that authorised insurer in relation to the use of the motor vehicle.

	(a)	a third-party policy; or
	(b)	a policy of insurance complying with the provisions of a law that is in force in a State or in the Northern Territory of Australia requiring the owner or driver of a motor vehicle to be insured against liability in respect of the death of, or bodily injury to, any person caused by or arising out of the use of the motor vehicle,
and where the insured person is dead or cannot be served with process, any person who could have obtained judgment in respect of such death or bodily injury against the insured person if he or she were living or if he or she could have been served with process, as the case may be, may recover, in any case where the insurance is under a third-party policy, by action against the authorised insurer who issued the third-party policy and, in any case where the insurance is under a policy of the nature referred to in paragraph (b), by action against the nominal defendant, an amount equivalent to the sum for which he or she could have obtained a judgment against the insured person.

(11) 	Subsection (3) permits, and that subsection shall, from and including the date of commencement of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1955, be deemed to have permitted, the institution of proceedings of the kind referred to in that subsection against the authorised insurer or the nominal defendant, as the case may be, in a case—
	(a)	where the insured person is dead; or
	(b)	where, under or by virtue of section 7 of that Act, a cause of action in respect of death or bodily injury is deemed to have been subsisting against the insured person before his or her death.
(12) 	Where liability of the kind referred to in subsection (3) has been incurred by an insured person and the insured person is dead or cannot be served with process—
	(a)	a person seeking to recover damages in respect of the death or bodily injury as a result of which liability was incurred may join—
	(i)	in a case where the insurance is under a third-party policy issued by an authorised insurer—the authorised insurer; or

(14) 	The right of action against the authorised insurer or the nominal defendant in a case where an insured person is dead is, and, from and including the date of commencement of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1955, shall be deemed at all times to have been, alternative to the right of action conferred under or by virtue of Part 2 of that Act against the estate of a deceased insured person.
 (15) 	Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (14)—
	(a)	where proceedings are commenced against the authorised insurer or the nominal defendant—proceedings in respect of the same cause of action shall not be instituted against the estate of a deceased insured person unless the first-mentioned proceedings have been discontinued;
	(b)	where proceedings are commenced against the estate of a deceased insured person—proceedings in respect of the same cause of action shall not be instituted against the authorised insurer or the nominal defendant unless the first-mentioned proceedings have been discontinued; and

	(a)	where there has been a false statement or misrepresentation or non-disclosure in obtaining the third-party policy—that the false statement, misrepresentation or non-disclosure, whether fraudulent or otherwise, was in relation to some fact or thing of such a nature as to influence a prudent insurer in determining whether or not to accept a proposal for insurance; or
	(b)	where there has been a breach of or failure to comply with any term, condition, warranty or provision referred to in subparagraph (c) (ii)—that the breach or failure was such that it contributed in a material degree to the circumstances in which the authorised insurer agreed to pay or otherwise become liable to pay the moneys sought to be recovered.
