Read the PPS Act for free - and why you may want to try this

Do you know you can access a free copy of the PPS Act online? Today, the Australian Government’s ComLaw released the latest PPS Act as amended, taking into account amendments up to Federal Circuit Court of Australia (Consequential Amendments) Act 2013 (which is an Act devoted largely to the renaming of “Federal Magistrates Court” to “Federal Circuit Court”).

You can access the updated PPS Act here.

You may be thinking "why would I want to read the PPS Act?" Whether you are a lawyer or not, if you want to understand some popular PPS terms (for example, the definition of "security interest"), find a summary of key PPS concepts (for example, what “registration” really entails), or find examples to aid your understanding of the law, a quick search of the Act may just give you the answer you want. Here are some tips to get you started:
  1. look at section 10 for definitions, 
  2. go to the beginning of each part of the Act for a guide to that part (usually in the form of a summary), or
  3. search the word "example" to locate various examples provided by the drafters of the legislation (for example, in section 3 there are examples of what the term "personal property" includes).

The PPS Act is not a simple piece of legislation to master, but some PPS answers are easier to find than others. For in-depth PPS analysis or expert legal advice, definitely consult an expert!  (And 
Legal Know-How can help you.)
