“List of old laws that were cancelled when the Fencing Act 1978 was made”

The Fencing Act 1978 repealed several older laws. These laws are no longer in effect because of this new act.

The repealed laws include the Age of Majority Act 1970 and the Fencing Act 1908. It also repealed three Fencing Amendment Acts from 1922, 1953, and 1955. Lastly, it repealed the Property Law Amendment Act 1975.

These old laws were replaced by the new Fencing Act 1978. This means that if you need to know about fencing laws in New Zealand, you should look at the Fencing Act 1978 instead of these older acts.
