If you are wondering what happens to old rules when a new law starts, the old rules are still followed. You need to know that some rules were made by superintendents of prisons under the Penal Institutions Act 1954. These rules are now treated as if they were made by the prison manager under section 33 of this Act, which you can find at section 33 of the Corrections Act 2004.
When the new law commenced, the old rules did not change, they are just deemed to have been made by someone else. You should look at who made the rules and when they were made to understand this better. The rules that were in force before the new law started are still in force, but now they are treated as if the prison manager made them.
The old rules are preserved, which means they are still used, even though the new law has started. This means that the rules made by the superintendent under the Penal Institutions Act 1954 are now treated as if they were made under the Corrections Act 2004. The rules are still the same, but who is deemed to have made them has changed to the prison manager under section 33 of this Act.
