INTERPRETATION ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1954 - SECT 15

Date of expiration of enactments.

15.(1) Where an enactment is expressed to expire, lapse or otherwise cease to
have effect on a particular day, the enactment shall, except as provided by
sub-section (2), be construed as ceasing to have effect immediately on the
expiration of that day.

(2) Where a Bill is introduced into any session of Parliament for the
continuance of any Act limited to expire in that session and that Act expires
before such Bill, having passed both Houses of Parliament, receives in that
session the Royal Assent, that Act shall be deemed to have continued as fully
and effectively in operation as if such Bill had received the Royal Assent
before that Act expired.

(3) Sub-section (2) shall not operate so as to render any person liable under
the provisions of an Act which has expired to any penalty or forfeiture by
reason of any act done by him before the date on which the Bill for the
continuance of that Act, having passed both Houses of Parliament, receives the
Royal Assent.
