This 1955 instrument wipes those old pricing rules off the books entirely.\n\n**The practical effect**\n\n* The Navy no longer has to follow the specific rates or formulas set in 1949 when hiring vessels\n* Ship hire costs would now be handled through ordinary commercial negotiations rather than statutory price controls\n* This is a “housekeeping” measure that removes obsolete defence regulations that are no longer needed"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/naval-charter-rates-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/naval-charter-rates-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/naval-charter-rates-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/naval-charter-rates-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/naval-charter-rates-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/naval-charter-rates-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
