Part I General Provisions

1.  In this Schedule “the revoked instruments” means the statutory instruments revoked by these regulations.

2.—(1) The substitution of these regulations for the revoked instruments does not affect the continuity of the law.

(2) Anything done or having effect as if done under or for the purposes of a provision of the revoked instruments has effect, if it could have been done under or for the purposes of the corresponding provision of these regulations, as if done under or for the purposes of that corresponding provision.

(3) Any reference, whether express or implied, in these regulations or any other instrument or document to a provision of these regulations shall, so far as the context permits, be construed as including, in relation to the times, circumstances and purposes in relation to which the corresponding provision of the revoked instruments has effect, a reference to that corresponding provision.

(4) Any reference, whether express or implied, in any instrument or document to a provision of the revoked instruments shall be construed, so far as is required for continuing its effect, as including a reference to the corresponding provision of these regulations.

(5) Any document made, served or issued on or after the commencement date which contains a reference to any of the revoked instruments shall be construed, except so far as a contrary intention appears, as referring or, as the context may require, including a reference to the corresponding provision of these regulations.

(6) Where any provision of the revoked instruments (“the replacement provision”) re-enacted, with or without modification, a previous provision revoked by the revoked instruments (“the previous provision”), then, so far as is necessary to prevent the continuity of the law from being affected, any reference in these regulations to the replacement provision shall, so far as the context permits, be construed as including a reference to that previous provision.

3.  Where—

(a) these regulations revoke a provision (“the commencement provision”) relating to the coming into force of another provision (including a commencement provision deeming another provision to have had effect from a date earlier than that which would otherwise apply), and

(b) the effect of that other provision is reproduced in a corresponding provision of these regulations,

the revocation does not affect the operation of the commencement provision, in so far as it is not specifically reproduced in these regulations but remains capable of having effect, in relation to the corresponding provision of these regulations.

4.—(1) The revocation by these regulations of any provision previously revoked subject to savings does not affect the continued operation of those savings.

(2) The revocation by these regulations of a saving to which a previous revocation of a provision is subject does not affect the operation of the saving in so far as it is not specifically reproduced in these regulations but remains capable of having effect.

(3) The revocation by these regulations of a provision which has effect as respects another provision of the revoked instruments (being a provision which is not reproduced in these regulations but continues in effect by virtue of this Schedule or the Interpretation Act (Northern Ireland) 1954 does not affect its operation as respects that other provision.

5.  Where by virtue of Part II a reference in these regulations to anything has effect as respects any time before the commencement date as if it were a reference to another thing, then where any provision of the revoked instruments continues in effect (by virtue of this Schedule or otherwise) on and after that date, any reference in that provision to that other thing shall, so far as is necessary to give effect to it, have effect on and after that date with the appropriate modification.
