10 The Criminal Law Amendment (Sexual Assault and Other Matters) Act 2004 Pt. 4 reads as follows:
Part 4 — Transitional and validation
- Validation of payments
fee regulations means regulations 6(2) and 13 of the Evidence (Witnesses’ and Interpreters’ Fees and Expenses) Regulations 1976.
(2) Any payment purporting to have been made under the fee regulations before the coming into operation of section 28 is taken to have been, and to have always been, as valid as it would have been if section 28 had come into operation before the fee regulations were made.
11 The amendment in the Criminal Procedure and Appeals (Consequential and Other Provisions) Act 2004 s. 78 to s. 56(1) is not included because that subsection was replaced by s. 82 (Sch. 2 it. 118) of the same Act.
12 The amendment in the Machinery of Government (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 2006 s. 36 to s. 106A is not included because the paragraph it sought to amend had been amended by the Children and Community Services Act 2004 Sch. 2 cl. 9.
