“This part of the law still applies even though some old rules were cancelled or changed”

This part of the law is important even though some other parts of the law have been cancelled or changed. You should know that this part still applies even though some laws listed in Schedule 6 have been removed, some rules in Schedule 7 have been cancelled, and some laws in Schedule 8 have been changed. This means that the rules in this part are still in effect, no matter what happened to those other laws and rules.
