Section 15

References to amended and re-enacted provisions

(1)

Where in any written law a reference is made to another written law, the reference is, except where the context otherwise requires, deemed to include a reference to the last mentioned written law as the same may from time to time be amended.

(2)

Where any written law repeals and re-enacts, with or without modification, any provision of a former written law, then, unless the contrary intention appears —

(a)

any reference in any other written law to the provision so repealed is to be construed as a reference to the provision so re‑enacted;

(b)

insofar as any subsidiary legislation made or other thing done under the provision so repealed, or having effect as if so made or done, could have been made or done under the provision so re‑enacted, it has effect as if made or done under that provision.
