Police Offences Act 1930 (ACT)

The Police Offences Act 1930 (ACT) was repealed by the Law Reform (Abolitions and Repeals) Act 1996 (ACT). The Court was required to interpret the effect of the repeal on existing legal proceedings, rights, and obligations under the repealed Act. The Court found that the repeal did not affect any rights, privileges, obligations, or liabilities acquired under the Police Offences Act 1930. Additionally, the repeal did not revive anything not in force at the time of the repeal, affect the previous operation of the Act, or affect any penalty, forfeiture, or punishment incurred in respect of any offence committed against the Act. The Court held that any investigation, legal proceedings, or remedy in respect of any such right, privilege, obligation, liability, penalty, forfeiture, or punishment may be instituted, continued, or enforced, and any such penalty, forfeiture, or punishment may be imposed, as if the Act had not been repealed. The Police Offences Act 1930 was repealed by the Law Reform (Abolitions and Repeals) Act 1996, but the repeal did not affect any existing rights, privileges, obligations, or liabilities acquired under the Act.
