5Under the Courts Legislation Amendment and Repeal Act 2004 s. 58 a reference in a written law to a court of petty sessions is, unless the contrary intention appears, to be construed as if it had been amended to be a reference to the Magistrates Court . The reference was changed under the Reprints Act 1984 s. 7(5)(a).
