When you look at the law about load lines, you need to understand what some words mean. The law has a special part that explains what these words are. This part is called the interpretation section, but it has been repealed, which means it is no longer used.

You can find out more about why it was repealed by looking at section 187. This section tells you that the interpretation part was repealed on 2 February 1998. It had already expired on 1 February 1998, so it was not used after that date.
