Effect of repeal etc. of amending subordinate instrument

29. Effect of repeal etc. of amending subordinate instrument



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

   (a)  is repealed; or

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

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

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