Construction of references to repealed enactments treats citations to old provisions as references to re enacted provisions unless intent differs. Section 8 provides that when an Act or Regulation repeals and re-enacts, with or without modification, a provision of a former enactment, references in other enactments or instruments to the repealed provision shall, unless a different intention appears, be construed as references to the provision so re-enacted. Subsection (2) applies the same rule to re-enactments effected before 15 August 1947 by Acts of the UK Parliament, in relation to Central Acts, Regulations, or instruments.
