125Usual effect of revocation if not confirmed by deadline
If unconfirmed legislation is revoked by section 123, the following applies on and from the deadline:
- any duties, levies, or road user charges imposed under the unconfirmed legislation are cancelled and, if paid, must be refunded (except as set out in subsection (2)); and
- any other legislation that was previously amended, repealed, or revoked by the unconfirmed legislation is restored or revived (as it was immediately before it was amended, repealed, or revoked); and
- the restoration or revival takes effect at the time the unconfirmed legislation is revoked; and
- revocation of the unconfirmed legislation does not otherwise affect its previous operation or anything done or suffered under it.
Subsection (1)(a) does not apply to any of the following:
-
- orders made under section 5(1) of the Energy Resources Levy Act 1976; or
- fees or charges to which section 270(4) to (6) of the Land Transport Act 1998 applies; or
- levy rates set by regulations made under section 41(1)(e) of the Waste Minimisation Act 2008.
However, this section does not apply if the unconfirmed legislation is made under an empowering provision listed in Part 2 of Schedule 4.
