Australian Capital Territory Repealed Acts

This legislation has been repealed.

INTERPRETATION ACT 1967 NO 48 - SECT 58

    (1)     The purpose of this part is to assist in the interpretation of former UK Acts.

    (2)     Except as provided in sections 60 and 61, schedule 2 applies to all former UK Acts according to its terms.

    (3)     If a provision of schedule 2 is inconsistent with another provision of this Act (except section 3), the provision of schedule 2 prevails to the extent of the inconsistency.

    (4)     Without limiting subsection (3), if a provision of schedule 2 dealing with a matter does not apply to all former UK Acts and another provision of this Act also deals with the matter (whether or not in the same way), then, for that subsection, the provision of schedule 2 is taken to be intended to deal exclusively with the matter.

Example

Schedule 2, clause 12, which deals with the measurement of distance, applies only to former UK Acts passed after 1889. Section 35 makes similar provision for measurement of distance for all Acts. Section 35 does not apply to former UK Acts passed during or before 1889.
