8B References to Acts
Where an Ordinance contains: (a) a reference to the short title of an Act as originally enacted; or (b) a reference to a method of citation that is, or at any time has been, provided by law for the citation of an Act as amended; then, except so far as the contrary intention appears: (c) the reference shall be construed as a reference to the Act as originally enacted and as amended from time to time; and (d) where that Act has been repealed and re‑enacted, with or without modification, the reference shall be construed as including a reference to the re‑enacted Act as originally enacted and as amended from time to time and, where, in connexion with that reference, particular provisions of the repealed Act are referred to, being provisions to which provisions of the re‑enacted Act correspond, the reference to those particular provisions shall be construed as including a reference to those corresponding provisions.
