Effect of repeal etc. of amending Act

15. Effect of repeal etc. of amending Act



(1) Where an Act or a provision of an Act, being an Act or provision that
directly amended another Act or a subordinate instrument (whether by the
insertion of words or expressions in that Act or subordinate instrument or the
substitution of other words or expressions for words or expressions in that
Act or subordinate instrument)-

   (a)  is repealed; or

   (b)  expires, lapses or otherwise ceases to have effect-

the repeal, expiry, lapsing or ceasing to have effect of that Act or provision
shall not, unless the contrary intention expressly appears, affect in any way
the direct amendments made in the other Act or in the subordinate instrument
or the operation or effect of those amendments.

(2) Subsection (1) applies to a direct amendment made to a provision of an Act
by another provision of that Act in the same manner as it applies to a direct
amendment made to an Act by another Act.
