65F Simultaneous actions
(1) If the effect of a statutory instrument is to substitute an action
(action A) for another action (action B) that is being revoked at the
same time, action A is taken to have occurred after the revocation
of action B and is therefore not ineffective by reason of the
Interpretation Act 1978 45
revocation not having commenced before the substitution.
(2) If a series of actions has effect simultaneously, the actions are
taken to have effect in the sequence that is indicated or as the
nature of the case requires.
Example for section 65F
A statutory instrument that revokes the appointment of a person and appoints
another person to the same position is taken to have effect in sequence.
