The Air Force used to have specific procedures for running internal inquiries (called 'courts of inquiry'). By 1985, these particular rules had become outdated—probably replaced by newer Defence Force procedures or the *Defence Force Discipline Act*. This repeal tidies up the statute book by formally removing the old paperwork. It doesn't change how inquiries work day-to-day (newer rules would cover that), but it stops lawyers from accidentally citing regulations from the 1930s."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/air-force-courts-of-inquiry-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/air-force-courts-of-inquiry-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/air-force-courts-of-inquiry-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/air-force-courts-of-inquiry-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/air-force-courts-of-inquiry-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/air-force-courts-of-inquiry-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
