2 A reference, express or implied, in this Measure, another enactment or an instrument or document, to a provision of this Measure is, subject to its context, to be read as being or including a reference to the corresponding provision repealed by this Measure, in relation to times, circumstances or purposes in relation to which the repealed provision had effect.

4 Any subordinate legislation made, any appointment or nomination made or any other thing done, or having effect as if made or done, under (or for the purposes of or in reliance on) a provision repealed and re-enacted by this Measure, and in force or effective immediately before the commencement of the corresponding provision of this Measure, has effect after that commencement as if made or done under (or for the purposes of or in reliance on) that corresponding provision.

5 Paragraphs 1 to 4 have effect in place of section 17(2) of the Interpretation Act 1978; but nothing in this Schedule affects any other provision of that Act.

Effect of previous transitionals and savings

6 The repeals made by this Measure do not affect the operation of a transitional provision or saving relating to the commencement of a provision reproduced in this Measure so far as the transitional provision or saving is not specifically reproduced in this Measure but remains capable of having effect in relation to the corresponding provision of this Measure or otherwise.

7 (1) The repeal by this Measure of a provision previously repealed subject to savings does not affect the continued operation of those savings.

(2) The repeal by this Measure of a saving on the previous repeal of a provision does not affect the operation of the saving in so far as it is not specifically reproduced in this Measure but remains capable of having effect.

Use of existing forms etc.

8 A reference to a provision repealed by this Measure which is contained in a form or other document made, served, granted or issued after the commencement of the repeal is, subject to its context, to be read as being or including a reference to the corresponding provision of this Measure.

Duplicated repeals

9 (1) This paragraph applies in relation to a provision, the repeal of which is provided for both by this Measure and by the Statute Law (Repeals) Measure 2018.
