Validation of Acts preserves past settlement acts under the Depositories Act as valid despite later amendments.

Validation preserves the legal efficacy of acts or things done in relation to settlement of administrative and civil proceedings under the Depositories Act by treating them as valid and effective as if subsequent amendments to the principal Act had been in force at all material times, functioning as a statutory savings mechanism to protect earlier settlements from invalidation due to later legislative changes.
