Paragraph 1

Subject to sub-paragraph (4) below, any instrument made, any direction or authorisation given or any other thing done under any enactment repealed by this Act or any order, rules or regulations made under any such enactment shall, so far as it could have been made, given or done under any provision of this Act have effect as if it had been made, given or done under that provision.

The Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Regulations 1973 (set out in Schedule 3 to the M1Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1973) are an enactment repealed by this Act and, accordingly, the reference in sub-paragraph (1) above to anything done under an enactment repealed by this Act includes a reference to anything done under those Regulations.

In sub-paragraph (1) above, references (however expressed) to things done under an enactment repealed by this Act shall be construed, in relation to the Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1973, as including references to things which, by virtue of section 31(5) of that Act, fell to be treated as if done under that Act.

Sub-paragraph (1) above shall not be construed as saving the provisions specified in Part II of Schedule 6 to this Act.
