Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes modifications to pre-commencement enactments, within the meaning of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46) (“the Act”), which appear to be necessary or expedient in consequence of the Act.
Article 2 provides for the modification of the enactments specified in Parts I and II of the Schedule to the Order. The Schedule also contains transitional and saving provisions in connection with certain of the modifications. Repeals are listed in Part III of the Schedule.
Article 3 contains a saving provision which ensures that, in interpreting enactments which have not been textually amended because reliance is placed on the general modifications in the Act no adverse implication can be drawn because of the presence in the Schedule of textual amendments to some enactments which replicate the effect of the general modifications.
This is the third Order making modifications in consequence of the Act. The other 2 are–
(a)the Scotland Act 1998 (Consequential Modifications) (No. 1) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/1042); and
(b)the Scotland Act 1998 (Consequential Modifications) (No. 2) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/1820).
