Note: Prior to the formation of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, the Insurance and Superannuation Commissioner issued Commissioner's Rules (CR) under the Life Insurance Act 1995. PR 30 changed the name of the pre-existing Commissioner's Rules to Prudential Rules from 1 July 1998. Therefore all references to Commissioner's Rules should be read as references to Prudential Rules.
