Clause 8

Mode of citing Acts

(1)

Where any Act is referred to, it shall be sufficient for all purposes to cite such Act either by the short title, if any, by which it is made citable, or by the year in which it was made and its number among the Acts of that year or, in the case of a revised edition of the Acts issued under any written law providing for the issue of a revised edition, by its short title or its chapter number; and the reference may in all cases be made according to the copies of Acts printed by the Government Printer.

(2)

Any such citation of an Act shall, unless the contrary intention appears, be construed as a reference to such Act as amended from time to time by any other Act.
