The repealed regulations were likely replaced by newer laws, updated safety standards, or international conventions, ensuring that industry only needs to follow current requirements."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/navigation-load-lines-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/navigation-load-lines-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/navigation-load-lines-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/navigation-load-lines-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/navigation-load-lines-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/navigation-load-lines-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
