Registered Clubs Act 1976

Clauses 19 and 20H of the Regulation are taken at all times prior to their repeal to have been valid for the purposes of effecting the cancellation of a certificate of registration or licence in accordance with the terms of those clauses.

Accordingly, a certificate of registration or licence purportedly cancelled by clause 19 or 20H of the Regulation is taken to have been validly cancelled.

However, clauses 19 and 20H of the Regulation are taken never to have operated to cancel a registration certificate or licence for failure to pay the registration fee, or an instalment of the registration fee, or for failure to pay the licence fee, payable in respect of the registration period commencing in January 1993 or the prescribed period commencing in February 1993.

This clause does not apply in respect of any registration certificate or licence in respect of which proceedings challenging the validity of a cancellation under clause 19 or 20H of the Regulation were commenced in the Supreme Court before the Bill for the amending Act was introduced into Parliament.

The repeal of clauses 19 and 20H of the Regulation does not operate to revive a cancelled certificate of registration or licence.

Neither the Crown nor the Board incurs any liability (in particular, any liability to pay compensation) by reason of the operation of this clause or clauses 19 and 20H of the Regulation.
