These rules were originally made under the *Bankruptcy Act 1966*.\n\n**Why it matters**\nThis is a “housekeeping” measure to clean up the statute books. It does **not** create new offences or change current bankruptcy law. Instead, it removes outdated subordinate legislation (regulations) that are no longer needed—likely because the offences or procedures they covered were moved into the main Act or replaced by newer rules.\n\n**Who it affects**\nOrdinary people, bankrupts, and creditors will notice no change. This purely administrative repeal ensures the official register of laws does not contain redundant or obsolete rules from 1970."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/bankruptcy-offences-rules-repeal","history":"/api/acts/bankruptcy-offences-rules-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/bankruptcy-offences-rules-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/bankruptcy-offences-rules-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/bankruptcy-offences-rules-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/bankruptcy-offences-rules-repeal/documents"}}
