SCHEDULE 2--AMENDMENTS BY WAY OF STATUTE LAW REVISION
Schedule 2 amends certain other Acts for the purpose of effecting statute law
revision. A number of other amendments are made relating to formal drafting matters
and minor corrections.
The amendments to each Act are explained in detail in the explanatory note relating
to the Act Concerned set out in Schedule 2.
SCHEDULE 3--REPEALS
Schedule 3 repeals a number of Acts. Since the Statute Law (Miscellaneous
Provisions) Act 1985, the number of Acts in force has been gradually reduced by
repealing amending Acts once the amendments contained in the Acts have been
incorporated in a reprint. The Schedule continues this process.
The Schedule also repeals amending Acts and Acts containing uncommenced
provisions which are superfluous because the Principal Acts they amend or to which
they relate have been repealed or amended a way that would now make the provisions
inappropriate.
The Schedule also repeals obsolete Acts dealing with incorporation of the New South
Wales Division of the Australian Red Cross Society. These Acts are:
· Australian Red Cross Society New South Wales Division Incorporation Act
1929; and
· Australian Red Cross Society New South Wales Division Incorporation
(Amendment) Act 1943.
The effect of the repeal of amending Acts is explained in detail in the explanatory
note set out in Schedule 3.
SCHEDULE 4--GENERAL SAVINGS, TRANSITIONAL AND OTHER
PROVISIONS
Schedule 4 contains savings, transitional and other provisions of a more general
effect than those set out in Schedule 1 or 2.
The purpose of each provision is explained in detail in the explanatory note relating
to the provision concerned set out in Schedule 4.
