Ombudsmen Act 1975

Miscellaneous provisions

33: Repeals, amendment, and savings

You could also call this:

"Changes to old laws: what's happening to them and how it affects you"

When you look at the law, you see that some old laws are being repealed. This means they are no longer valid. You can find the list of old laws in the Schedule 2 part of this Act. The new law does not replace other laws or rules that already exist. You still have the same rights and remedies as before.

Some appointments made under an old law will still be valid until the current Parliament ends. You can find more information about this in the old law, the Parliamentary Commissioner (Ombudsman) Act 1962. Some old laws will still apply to certain organisations until a new part of this Act starts.

The old laws will keep working for some organisations until Part 3 of Schedule 1 of this Act begins. This is because the new law is adding to the existing laws, not taking them away. You can find the list of organisations in the old Parliamentary Commissioner (Ombudsman) Act 1962.
