This removes bureaucratic controls and allows the coal tar market to return to normal peacetime commercial operations."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/war-precautions-coal-tar-regulations-1916-repeal","history":"/api/acts/war-precautions-coal-tar-regulations-1916-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/war-precautions-coal-tar-regulations-1916-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/war-precautions-coal-tar-regulations-1916-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/war-precautions-coal-tar-regulations-1916-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/war-precautions-coal-tar-regulations-1916-repeal/documents"}}
