Building Societies Act 1965

Miscellaneous provisions

139: Repeals, consequential amendments, and savings

You could also call this:

“Old rules are replaced, and some other rules are changed when the new Building Societies Act starts”

This part of the law talks about changes made when the Building Societies Act 1965 was introduced. It says that some old laws listed in Schedule 6 are no longer in use. The new law also changes some other laws, but you’d need to look at those laws to see exactly what changed.

When the new law talks about the Registrar of Building Societies, it means the same person who used to be called that under the old 1908 law. The same goes for District Registrars and Assistant Registrars. When it mentions the Deputy Registrar, it now means a Deputy Registrar under the new law.

If someone made a decision following the rules of the old 1908 law before this new law started, it’s treated as if it was made under the new law if it could have been. This helps make sure that decisions made under the old law are still valid.

Some parts of this section (numbers 8 and 9) have been removed and are no longer part of the law.
