(1) Any proceeding, investigation or matter before or with, or being considered or dealt with by, the Commission before a person is bound by the Integrity Code must be dealt with by the Commission as if the Integrity Code was not in force.

(2) For the avoidance of doubt, paragraph (1) applies to any matter being handled by a third-party provider on behalf of the Commission (eg, through the Sport and Recreation Complaints and Mediation Service).

Any proceeding, investigation or matter before or with, or being considered or dealt with by, an organisation before it is bound by the Integrity Code must be dealt with by that organisation as if the Integrity Code was not in force.

Any proceeding, investigation or matter before or with, or being considered or dealt with by, an organisation or the Commission between the organisation becoming bound by the Integrity Code and the organisation implementing required policies under Part 2 must be dealt with under the policies of the organisation that were in force at the time the behaviour in question occurred.
