These particular regulations limited who could deal in tin plates and under what conditions. By repealing them in April 1919, this regulation returns the tin plate trade to normal peacetime conditions after the war."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/war-precautions-tin-plates-regulations-1916-repeal","history":"/api/acts/war-precautions-tin-plates-regulations-1916-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/war-precautions-tin-plates-regulations-1916-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/war-precautions-tin-plates-regulations-1916-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/war-precautions-tin-plates-regulations-1916-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/war-precautions-tin-plates-regulations-1916-repeal/documents"}}
