The enactments set out in the Twelfth Schedule to this Act are hereby repealed to the extent specified in the third column of that Schedule:

Provided that, without prejudice to the provisions of the Interpretation Act, 1889, this subsection shall have effect subject to the following provisions of this section.

Nothing in this repeal shall affect any instrument or other thing whatsoever made or done or having effect under any enactment repealed by this Act and every such instrument or thing shall continue in force and, so far as it could have been made or done under this Act, shall have effect as if made or done under this Act.

Nothing in this repeal shall affect the terms and conditions on and subject to which any person held office or served before the commencement of this Act.

Where under any Act passed before this Act there is a power to affect Acts of Parliament passed or in force before a particular time and that power would, but for the passing of this Act, have included power to change the law which is reproduced in this Act, then that power shall include power to make such provision as will secure the like change in the law as reproduced in this Act notwithstanding that this Act is not an Act passed or in force before that time and notwithstanding that the terms of this Act, apart from this subsection, are not such as to render that power applicable.

Any document referring to any Act or enactment repealed by this Act shall be construed as referring to this Act or the corresponding enactment in this Act.
