10 The *Inspector of Custodial Services Act 2003* Sch. 2 cl. 6(5) reads as follows:
(5) A person who, immediately before the commencement of this Act, was a person who had been appointed by the Governor, under the *Prisons Act 1981* section 54, to be a visiting justice is to be regarded, on and from the commencement, as a person who is appointed by the Minister, under the *Prisons Act 1981* section 54, as a visiting justice on the same terms and conditions as applied to the person’s appointment by the Governor.
11 The amendments in the *Corruption and Crime Commission Amendment and Repeal Act 2003* Sch. 2 cl. 11(3)‑(6) are not included because the sections they sought to amend were deleted by the *Inspector of Custodial Services Act 2003* s. 56(1) before the amendments came into operation.
12 The *Criminal Procedure and Appeals (Consequential and Other Provisions) Act 2004* Sch. 1 cl. 25 (amendment to s. 23) was deleted by the *Criminal Law and Evidence Amendment Act 2008* s. 78(4).
