Declaratory and remedical Act, a declaratory Act may be defined as an Act, to remove doubts existing as to the common law, or the meaning or effect of any statute. Such Acts are usually held to be retrospective. A remedial Act, on the contrary, is not necessarily retrospective; it may be either enlarging or restraining and it takes effect prospectively, unless it has retrospective effect by express terms or necessary intendment, Central Bank of India v. Their Workmen, AIR 1960 SC 12 (27).
