Repeal

Repeal, a revocation or abrogation. Repeal of one act of Parliament by another is either express or implied, the rule being that a later Act repeals a former one if contradictory thereto, Leges posteriores priores contrarias abrogant. By s. 11 of the Inter-pretation Act, 1889, re-enacting s. 5 of Lord Brougham's Act (13 Vict. c. 21), where an Act passed after 1850 repeals a repealing enactment, it does not revive any enactment previously repealed. And by s. 38 of the same Act, where any Act passed after January 1st, 1890, repeals and re-enacts any provisions of a former Act, references in any other Act to the provisions so repealed are to be construed as references to the provisions so re-enacted, as had been already specially provided in the consolidating Public Health Act, 1875, by s. 313, and Factory and Workshop Act, 1878, by s. 102, and see R. v. Minister of Health, Ex p. Villiers, (1936) 2 KB 29.Abrogation of an existing law by legislative act, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p...
