Why does a provision of a statute or regulation continue to appear on e-Laws even if a court has ruled that the provision is of no effect?
A consolidated statute or regulation published on e-Laws consists of the source law, as enacted by the Legislature or filed with the Registrar of Regulations, into which are incorporated subsequent amendments, if any, made to it by statute or regulation and subsequent changes, if any, made to it under Part V of the Legislation Act, 2006. A consolidated law on e-Laws does not reflect or mention court decisions, even if a court rules that a provision of the law is of no effect. It is only if the law is amended by a subsequent law to conform to the court decision that the consolidated law published on e-Laws will, in effect, reflect the court’s view.
