Commentary on Sections: Part 8
Section 147: Extent
655.By virtue of section 147, Parts 1, 2, 6 and 8 of the Act extend to England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and Parts 3, 4, 5, and 7 extend only to England and Wales. This is subject to subsections (4) and (5). Subsection (4) allows for amendments to other Acts to extend to the same extent as those other Acts. For example, the amendment made by section 142 will extend to Scotland (as well as to England and Wales). Subsection (5) extends certain provisions to the Isle of Man. This is because section 143(1) and (2) amends the Registered Designs Act 1949, which itself extends to the Isle of Man. Therefore section 143(1) and (2), the relevant provisions of the repeals Schedule and section 147 extend to the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man.
