Corrections Act 2004

Transitional provisions - Appointments

228: Most other appointments preserved

You could also call this:

"Some jobs keep the same rules under the new Corrections Act 2004."

Illustration for Corrections Act 2004

If you were appointed to a role under the Criminal Justice Act 1985 or the Penal Institutions Act 1954, you will keep your job. You will be deemed to have been appointed under the Corrections Act 2004, which has similar provisions to the old acts. Your terms and conditions will stay the same as they were before the new act started.

If you are one of these people, you need to know that some other sections of the act may also apply to you, such as sections 226 and 227. This section does not affect what section 21 of the Interpretation Act 1999 says. You will still be subject to the rules that apply to your role.
