10 References to amended or re‑enacted Acts
Where an Act contains a reference to a short title that is or was provided by law for the citation of another Act as originally enacted, or of another Act as amended, then:
(a) the reference shall be construed as a reference to that other Act as originally enacted and as amended from time to time; and
(b) where that other Act has been repealed and re‑enacted, with or without modifications, the reference shall be construed as including a reference to the re‑enacted Act as originally enacted and as amended from time to time; and
(c) if a provision of the other Act is repealed and re‑enacted (including where the other Act is repealed and re‑enacted), with or without modifications, a reference to the repealed provision extends to any corresponding re‑enacted provision (whether or not the re‑enacted provision has the same number as the repealed provision).
