Effect of repeal.

28.(1) The repeal of any enactment shall not be deemed to be or to involve a
declaration that such enactment was or was considered by Parliament to have
been previously in force in Northern Ireland.

(2) Where an enactment repeals or revokes a transferred provision, the repeal
or revocation shall not, save as in this section otherwise provided

(a)revive any transferred provision or thing not in force or existing at the
time at which the repeal or revocation takes effect;

(b)affect the previous operation of the transferred provision so repealed or
revoked, or anything duly done or suffered thereunder;

(c)affect any right, privilege, obligation or liability acquired, accrued or
incurred under the transferred provision so repealed or revoked;

(d)affect any offence committed against the transferred provision so repealed
or revoked, or any penalty or forfeiture or punishment incurred in respect
thereof; or

(e)affect any investigation, legal proceeding or remedy in respect of any such
right, privilege, obligation, liability, penalty, forfeiture or punishment as
aforesaid;

(3) Nothing in sub-section (2) shall be taken to authorise the continuance in
force after the repeal or revocation of a transferred provision of any
instrument made under that provision.

(4) Where at any time an enactment expires, lapses or otherwise ceases to have
effect, this section shall apply as if that enactment had then been repealed
or revoked.

(5) The inclusion in the repealing provisions of any enactment of any express
saving with respect to the repeals affected thereby shall not be taken to
prejudice the operation of this section with respect to the effect of those
repeals.
