It repeals (cancels) 12 old sets of regulations that governed insurance agents and brokers under the now-defunct *Insurance (Agents and Brokers) Act 1984*.\n\n**Who it affects:**\nInsurance intermediaries (agents and brokers) who were previously regulated under the old 1984 Act. For these businesses, this removal of outdated rules reduced compliance clutter.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis is part of the transition to the *Financial Services Reform Act 2001*, which replaced the old patchwork of insurance-specific laws with a modern licensing system for all financial services. By repealing these regulations from 1985–1998, the government eliminated superseded compliance requirements that had become redundant (legal deadwood) when the new regime took effect.\n\n**In short:** It’s the legislative equivalent of shredding old filing cabinets that are no longer needed because the new system took over."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/insurance-agents-and-brokers-repeal-regulations-2002","history":"/api/acts/insurance-agents-and-brokers-repeal-regulations-2002/history","analysis":"/api/acts/insurance-agents-and-brokers-repeal-regulations-2002/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/insurance-agents-and-brokers-repeal-regulations-2002/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/insurance-agents-and-brokers-repeal-regulations-2002/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/insurance-agents-and-brokers-repeal-regulations-2002/documents"}}
