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 c. 21), where an Act passed after 1850 repeals a repealing enactment, it does not revive any enactment previously repealed.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1st, 1890, repeals and re-enacts any provisions of a former Act, references in any other Act to the provisions so repealed are to be construed as references to the provisions so re-enacted, as had been already specially provided in the consolidating Public Health Act, 1875, by s.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.
