Effect of revocation of approval or variation or expiry of approved code

24. Effect of revocation of approval or variation or expiry of approved code



(1) The revocation of the approval of a code of practice or of a variation of
an approved code of practice, or the expiry of an approved code of practice,
or the ceasing of an organisation to be bound by a code of practice, does not-

   (a)  revive anything not in force or existing at the time at which the
        revocation, expiry or cessation becomes operative; or

   (b)  affect the previous operation of the code or anything duly done or
        suffered under, or in relation to, the code; or

   (c)  affect any right, privilege, obligation or liability acquired, accrued
        or incurred under, or in relation to, the code; or

   (d)  affect any penalty incurred in respect of any contravention of the
        code or in respect of any offence against section 48(1) committed in
        relation to a compliance notice issued because of any contravention of
        the code; or

   (e)  affect any investigation, legal proceeding or remedy in respect of any
        such right, privilege, obligation, liability or penalty as is
        mentioned in paragraphs (c) and (d)-

and any such investigation, legal proceeding or remedy may be instituted,
continued or enforced and any such penalty may be imposed as if the code or
variation had not been revoked or the code had not expired or the organisation
had not ceased to be bound by the code.





(2) Subject to subsection (1), if a variation of an approved code of practice
is revoked, the code takes effect without that variation as from the beginning
of the day on which the variation ceases to be in operation in all respects as
if the variation had not been made.

(3) Nothing in this section prevents the application to an organisation of an
IPP (without any modification) on and from the day on which an applicable code
of practice, that modified the application of that IPP, ceases to be in
operation.
