Saving of administrative acts and instruments when provisions replaced
33 Saving of administrative acts and instruments when provisions replaced
If an Act or a legislative instrument, or a provision of an Act or a legislative instrument, is replaced, an administrative act done in accordance with it (as in force before it was replaced and not being an administrative act the effect of which was exhausted) will be regarded as an administrative act done for the purposes of the replacement Act, instrument or provision if it is not inconsistent with the Act, instrument or provision as in force after it is replaced.
If—
a legislative instrument or other instrument is in force under a provision of an Act; and
the
Act, or the provision of the Act, is replaced by a subsequent Act or provision that contains or provides a power to make instruments to the same or similar effect, the instrument will, subject to the subsequent Act or provision, remain in force as if the subsequent Act or provision had been in force when the instrument was made and the instrument had been made under that Act or provision.
An
Act or a legislative instrument, or provision of an Act or a legislative instrument, will be taken to have been replaced if it has been repealed or superseded by a later Act, instrument or provision that deals with the same matter (whether it deals with the matter in the same manner or not and whether it deals only with the matter or with other matters also).
