The repeal likely occurred because civilian employment conditions were moved to other laws (such as public service legislation) or modernised under new regulations, making the 1942 wartime-era rules redundant."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/air-force-civil-staff-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/air-force-civil-staff-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/air-force-civil-staff-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/air-force-civil-staff-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/air-force-civil-staff-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/air-force-civil-staff-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
