174: Regulations deemed to have been made under this Act

You could also call this:

“Old rules are now treated as part of this new law”

The law says that certain rules listed in Schedule 6 are now treated as if they were made under section 169 of this Act. This means these rules can be changed or cancelled just like other rules made under this Act.

If any of the rules in Schedule 6 weren’t properly made before, they are now considered valid and legal, as long as they would have been okay under section 169.

However, if someone did something wrong before this new rule came into effect, they can still be in trouble for it. The new rule doesn’t change any court cases about things that happened earlier.
