2 The Limitation Legislation Amendment and Repeal Act 2005 Pt. 2 reads as follows:
“
Part 2 — Repeal
4. Limitation Act 1935 repealed and savings provisions
The Limitation Act 1935 is repealed.
The Limitation Act 1935 continues to apply, despite its repeal and the enactment of the Limitation Act 2005, to causes of action that accrued before commencement day.
Subsection (2) is subject to the Limitation Act 2005 sections 6 and 7.
The Limitation Act 1935 applies, despite its repeal and the enactment of the Limitation Act 2005 (the “new Act”), to a post‑commencement action, as defined in section 8(2) of the new Act, to which section 15 of the new Act does not apply because of section 8(2) of the new Act.
A reference in a written law to the Limitation Act 2005 may, where the context so requires, be read as if it were a reference to the Limitation Act 1935 in relation to a cause of action —
that accrued before commencement day; or
of a kind mentioned in subsection (4).
