Subsection (2) applies to a duty to consult, so far as applying to or in connection with, or otherwise arising in consequence of, a provision of an enactment as modified or made—
by or under this Act, or
by or under another Act as amended by this Act.
The duty to consult may be satisfied by things done before the commencement date (as well as by things done on or after that date).
The “commencement date”, in relation to a provision of an enactment as modified or made—
by or under this Act, or
by or under another Act as amended by this Act,
means the date on which the modification or making of that provision comes into force.
