Public Health Act 1936

345 Transitional provisions as to offences and notices.

(1) Where an offence (being an offence for the continuance of which a penalty was provided) has been committed under any enactment repealed by this Act, proceedings may be taken under this Act in respect of the continuance of the offence after the commencement of this Act in the same manner as if the offence had been committed under the corresponding provisions of this Act.

(2) Where an enactment repealed and re-enacted, with or without modifications, by this Act relates to the giving of notices—

(i) not less than a specified period before; or

(ii) within a specified period after,

the doing of some act or the happening of some event, and the commencement of this Act falls within the period applicable under that enactment to any particular act done or to any particular event, the repeal and re-enactment shall be deemed to have taken effect in relation to that act or event, in the first-mentioned case, at a date sufficiently early to enable the required notice to be given under the corresponding provisions of this Act, and, in the secondly mentioned case immediately before the doing of the act or the happening of the event in question.
