General and final provisions

9 Orders

(1) An order under section 1 or 8 may contain consequential, supplementary, incidental, transitional, transitory or saving provision (including provision which amends, repeals or revokes an enactment or other provision).

(2) Where an order under section 1 or 8 amends, repeals or revokes a provision which extends to the Isle of Man, the order may provide for the amendment, repeal or revocation—

(a) to have effect in the Isle of Man without exceptions, adaptations or modifications,

(b) to have effect in the Isle of Man subject to such exceptions, adaptations or modifications as the order specifies, or

(c) not to have effect in the Isle of Man.

(3) An amendment, repeal or revocation made by an order under section 1 or 8 to a provision which extends to the Isle of Man is also subject to such exceptions, adaptations or modifications as an Act of Tynwald, or an instrument made under an Act of Tynwald, may specify; and such provision may have effect in addition to, or instead of, provision made in the order for the purposes of subsection (2) of this section.

(4) The power to make an order under section 1 or 8 is exercisable by statutory instrument; and the Statutory Instruments Act 1946 applies—

(a) as if the order had been made by a Minister of the Crown, and

(b) as if this Measure were an Act of Parliament providing for the instrument containing the order to be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.

(6) The power to make an order under this section is exercisable by statutory instrument; and the Statutory Instruments Act 1946 applies—
