It repeals (cancels) 22 separate sets of old regulations made between 1926 and 1991 that governed how cargo could be carried on ship decks under the Navigation Act 1912. These rules are no longer needed, likely because they were superseded by newer safety standards or international conventions. Once commenced, the repealed regulations have no legal effect, though other laws will continue to regulate maritime cargo safety."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/navigation-deck-cargo-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/navigation-deck-cargo-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/navigation-deck-cargo-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/navigation-deck-cargo-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/navigation-deck-cargo-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/navigation-deck-cargo-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
