Civil Aviation Act 1982

General U.K.

1 U.K. Where any enactment has been repealed (whether by this Act or otherwise) but, by virtue of any provision of the Act making the repeal (including a provision delaying the coming into force of the repeal), continues on and after the operative date to have effect for any purpose, then any other enactment repealed by this Act which, but for its repeal, would have effect for the purpose of construing or otherwise giving effect to the first mentioned enactment shall, notwithstanding its repeal, continue to have effect in relation to that provision for that purpose.

2 (1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, where any period of time specified in an enactment re-enacted by this Act is current on the operative date, this Act shall have effect as if the provision of this Act re-enacting that enactment had been in force when that period began to run. U.K.

(2) A person shall not, by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) above, be liable in respect of any offence which continues or continued during any period beginning before the operative date to any penalty greater than that which might have been imposed on him apart from this Act; and accordingly the maximum penalty for such an offence shall be determined in accordance with the law in force immediately before the operative date.

3 U.K. Where anything was done before the operative date for the purposes of any enactment which is re-enacted by any provision of this Act the doing of that thing shall, on and after that date, have effect so far as may be necessary for giving the doing of that thing continuing effect as if that provision had been in force when the thing was done and as if the thing had been done for the purposes of that provision.
