After nearly 50 years, the 1908 rules had likely become obsolete—either replaced by newer regulations or simply no longer relevant to how excise was administered. Repealing them prevents confusion and keeps the law tidy."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/excise-procedure-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/excise-procedure-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/excise-procedure-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/excise-procedure-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/excise-procedure-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/excise-procedure-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
