PART I— GENERAL PROVISIONS

1.  In this Schedule—

“the revoked instruments” means the statutory instruments revoked by these Regulations; and

“the commencement date” means 3rd February 1998.

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.  The revocation by these Regulations of a transitional provision relating to the coming into force of a provision re-enacted in these Regulations does not affect the operation of that transitional provision, so far as it remains capable of having effect, in relation to the provision as re-enacted.

4.—(1) The revocation by these Regulations of a provision previously revoked subject to savings does not affect the previous operation of those savings.

(2) The revocation by these Regulations of a saving made on the previous revocation of a provision does not affect the operation of the saving in so far as it remains capable of having effect.
