345: Repeal of revised Acts

You could also call this:

“Old business laws are replaced by newer ones”

This law says that several old laws about contracts and business are no longer in use. You don’t need to worry about these laws anymore because they have been replaced by newer ones. The old laws that are no longer used include ones about moving goods, making deals, fixing mistakes in contracts, and selling things. There were also some laws about electronic transactions and what happens when a contract can’t be completed. The law also says that some parts of an old law called the Mercantile Law Act are not used anymore. All of these old laws have been replaced by newer, more up-to-date laws that cover the same topics.
