Schedule 2 Amendments by way of statute law revision
Schedule 2 amends certain other Acts and instruments 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 and instrument are explained in detail in the
explanatory note relating to the Act or instrument concerned set out in Schedule 2.
Schedule 3 Amendments transferring provisions
Schedule 3 transfers into their parent Act a number of savings, transitional and other
provisions of ongoing effect contained in certain amending Acts, the other
provisions of which have been incorporated in reprints or are spent. The removal of
these provisions from the amending Acts permits the repeal (by Schedule 4 to the
proposed Act) of those Acts.
Schedule 4 Repeals
Schedule 4 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, and also repeals
amending Acts enacted at least 20 years ago, the provisions of which have not all
been included in a reprint but which contain no provisions of substantive effect that
need to be retained. It also repeals certain other amending Acts, the ongoing
provisions of which are transferred (by Schedule 3) to their parent Act. The Acts
that were amended by the Acts being repealed are up-to-date on the Legislation
Database maintained by the Parliamentary Counsel's Office and are available
electronically.
Schedule 5 General savings, transitional and other provisions
Schedule 5 contains savings, transitional and other provisions of a more general
effect than those set out in Schedule 1.
The purpose of each provision is explained in detail in the explanatory note relating
to the provision concerned set out in Schedule 5.
