Request for submissions
The Treasury, which in conjunction with Parliamentary Counsel Office is co-ordinating the
development of the Statutes Repeal Bill, is seeking public feedback on whether:
•
any of the Acts or provisions identified for repeal has a useful ongoing purpose and therefore
should not be repealed

the repeal of any of those Acts or provisions might have unintended consequences that need to
be considered
•
any provisions within the Acts proposed for repeal might need to be saved before the Act is
repealed, beyond those identified in the exposure draft
•
the repeal of the Acts and provisions proposed for repeal will require consequential
amendments to other enactments, beyond those identified in the exposure draft
The Treasury also welcomes views on other Acts or provisions that might be redundant or spent, and
could be candidates for this or a future Statutes Repeal Bill.
The closing date for submissions is Friday 4 December 2015.

Introduction
This paper is a companion document to the exposure draft of the Statutes Repeal Bill. The
Government approved, in August 2015, the release of an exposure draft of the Statutes Repeal Bill.
Departments have identified a number of Acts or provisions that appear to be redundant. Following
a process of departmental review, the Acts and provisions set out in the exposure draft have been
approved for repeal by the relevant Ministers.
Before the Government introduces the Statutes Repeal Bill to Parliament, however, it seeks to
confirm departmental advice that the proposed repeals will not adversely impact on any party and
are suitable for repeal.
Background and purpose
As part of its recent response to the New Zealand Productivity Commission report on Regulatory
Institutions and Practices, the Government indicated that it was looking at ways to better keep
legislation up to date, such as use of omnibus Bills to repeal redundant legislation, or make technical
or minor policy changes. It also announced its intention to introduce a Statutes Repeal Bill during
2015.
The proposed Statutes Repeal Bill is a successor to the Regulatory Reform (Repeals) Act 2012 which
repealed 31 Acts, and then also repealed itself. Prior to this Act, an omnibus Bill to repeal redundant
statutes had not been passed in New Zealand since 1907.
The purpose of the Statutes Repeal Bill is to maintain a body of legislation that is up to date and fit
for purpose by repealing legislation that is unnecessary and spent. Maintaining a quality regulatory
environment requires ensuring that the existing body of legislation is relevant, up to date and fit for
purpose. Achieving this will reduce the costs of both administering and using legislation. In particular
many less experienced users of legislation may quite reasonably assume that if a law remains on the
books that it must serve some purpose or function when this is often not the case.
A key benefit of omnibus repeal Bills is that they provide a timely and cost effective method of
collectively repealing spent Acts. The time and cost associated with individual repeals is hard to
justify so without an omnibus Bill spent Acts can sit in the statute books indefinitely.
This paper
This paper has two Parts.
Part 1 is an overview of the process of putting together the exposure draft Statutes Repeal Bill, and
outlines the types of Acts proposed for repeal in the Bill.
Part 2 describes in more detail the Acts being repealed.
4
Part 1 – Overview
Candidate Acts and provisions for repeal have been selected on the basis that they are redundant,
either because they are spent, or are no longer required, or are designed to achieve regulatory
outcomes that are no longer relevant.
In some cases where an Act contains a small number of provisions that remain of use, the Bill will
save those provisions from the Act being repealed by inserting them into another appropriate Act.
Each public Act included in the exposure draft was recommended for repeal by the department or
agency that administers it. This followed a process of review by departments to ensure that each
Act met the criteria for being redundant.
The exposure draft does not yet incorporate all consequential amendments to enactments that may
be necessary as a result of amendments.
In most cases the Act is considered redundant because it is spent and has no ongoing effect on any
party. Many of the Acts primarily existed to fulfil a one off function or facilitate a one off transfer,
and become spent once that is complete. Other Acts may be redundant because the purpose they
fulfilled is no longer relevant or has been superseded by more modern legislation.
Some common provisions within Acts that are redundant are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Provisions that validate a past action
Provisions that authorise an action to occur within a defined time period and that time period
has passed
Repeal provisions that do not include saving provisions
Short title/commencement/interpretation sections where all of the substantive provisions they
relate to have been, or are to be, repealed
Provisions that deal with entities or systems that are no longer in existence
Provisions that relate to other provisions or Acts which have been repealed.
The repeal of many Acts is possible because of the general savings provisions in section 17 of the
Interpretation Act 1999. These provide that the repeal of a statute does not affect:
•
•
•
•
•
the validity, invalidity, effect, or consequences of anything done or suffered
an existing right, interest, title, immunity, or duty
an existing status or capacity
an amendment made by the enactment to another enactment
the previous operation of the enactment or anything done or suffered under it.
The repeal of an Act also does not revive an enactment that has been repealed or a rule of law
that has been abolished, or any other thing that is not in force or existing at the time the repeal
takes effect. All Acts repealed by the Bill would continue to be found in the repealed statute
part of the New Zealand Legislation website
What types of Acts does the Statutes Repeal Bill contain?
Most of the Acts proposed for repeal or partial repeal are public Acts. They are administered by a
variety of departments and dealt with numerous different issues. Below is a summary of the kinds of
5
Acts scheduled for repeal, which might help you navigate the Bill when looking for Acts that may be
of interest. All Acts for repeal in this Bill can be viewed on the New Zealand Legislation website
http://www.legislation.govt.nz.
Finance Acts
61 of the Acts for repeal in the Bill are Finance Acts. Finance Acts contain a wide variety of
provisions. Most relate to the financial management of Government, including authorising and
validating expenditure or actions by central government, government owned entities, local
authorities and Members of Parliament.
Part two describes the Finance Acts proposed for repeal section by section.
Latent Legislation
Some Acts or sections within Acts do not come into force unless brought into force by an Order in
Council. Legislation that has received Royal assent but is not yet in force because an Order in Council
has not been made is latent.
This Bill repeals some latent enactments, where the Government has determined that the
enactments will not be brought into force.
For more information about latent legislation see http://www.pco.parliament.govt.nz/legislationwaiting-to-be-brought-into-force/.
Private Acts
Private Acts are promoted by an individual, body or entity outside Parliament to deal with their
particular interests or circumstances. They have been passed to create special exemptions in the law
to deal with unique circumstances, or to assist with the constitution of a body such as a church, an
education institution or a club. Private Acts are not administered by any department.

Part 2 – Acts proposed for Repeal
Public Acts
Administration of Community
Sentences and Orders Act 2013
Section 45(1).
Auckland Harbour Bridge
Dissolution Authority Act 1983
Children's Health Camps Board
Dissolution Act 1999
Christchurch-Lyttleton Road
Tunnel Authority Dissolution
Act 1978
Consolidated Statutes
Enactment Act 1908
This section is related to the Sentencing Council Act 2007, which is
proposed for repeal.
This Act dissolved the Auckland Harbour Bridge Authority. Several
provisions remain operative including section 2 which defines the
Auckland Harbour Bridge (AHB) to exclude other structures which
do not form part of the bridge; section 6(1), which declares the
AHB to be a motorway, section 9, which provides that the AHB be
adequately lighted for the safety of ships and aircraft in the vicinity
and section 10, which provides that the agency must approve any
persons before they can carry out maintenance or repair work on
certain aspects of the AHB. These sections will be saved in the
Government Roading Powers Act 1989.
This Act provides for the dissolution of the Children’s Health
Camps Board and the establishment of the New Zealand
Foundation for Child and Family Health and Development. The
Foundation is now a registered charitable trust and no longer
needs the provisions of this Act.
Section 14 protects the emblem of the King George the Fifth
Memorial Children’s Health Camps Federation. This section will be
saved in the Flags, Emblems, and Names Protection Act 1981.
This Act dissolves the Christchurch-Lyttleton Road Tunnel
Authority.
This Act repealed all the Public General Acts of New Zealand and
replaced them with 208 consolidated Acts.
Consumer Council Act Repeal
Act 1988
This Act abolishes the Consumer Council and the Consumer
Institute, establishes an incorporated society, and repeals the
Consumer Council Act 1966.
Counties Insurance
Empowering Act 1941
The purpose of this Act was to authorise County Councils and
Municipal local authorities respectively, to form co-operative
insurance companies. In both cases, the consent of the Minister of
Finance was required to the registration of the company, and to
any amendment to its constitution or articles of association. These
functions are now covered by general empowering provisions in
the Local Government Act 2002.
7
Customs Law Act 1908
Farm and Fishing Vessel
Ownership Savings Schemes
(Closure) Act 1998
Only 3 sections remain. These allow New Zealand to impose the
same restrictions on commonwealth ships that are imposed in
their country of origin. The term ‘commonwealth ships’ was
dropped when the Maritime Transport Act 1994 replaced the
Shipping and Seamen Act 1952. The Ministry of Transport has not
had any involvement with this Act in the recent past. The
remaining provisions appear to be inconsistent with New Zealand’s
obligations under the WTO, as they constitute retaliatory
measures.
This Act closes the savings schemes accounts provided for by the
Farm Ownership Savings Act 1974 and the Fishing Vessel
Ownership Savings Act 1977 (each of which is also recommended
for repeal). These accounts should now be closed.
The Treasury has consulted with the relevant Banks (via the New
Zealand Bankers’ Association) and Building Societies to determine
whether any residual accounts are in existence. Approval for the
repeal of this Act was sought subject to confirmation from the
relevant banks and building societies that:
• there are no residual accounts; or
• the relevant banks or building society will be able to close the
relevant accounts before the Bill is enacted.
Farm Ownership Savings Act
1974
Fisheries Act 1996
Sections 314(1)(a) to (c) and
338.
That confirmation has been received.
This Act encourages saving for farm ownership through the Farm
Ownership Accounts. It was amended by the Farm Ownership
Savings Amendment Act 1987 so that no accounts were to be
opened on or after 19 June 1987. After the Farm and Fishing
Vessel Ownership Savings Schemes (Closure) Act 1998 was enacted
all Farm Ownership Accounts in existence on 30 June 2001 were
required to be closed and their balances paid to their depositors.
These accounts should now be closed.
As noted above, consultation with the Banks and relevant Building
Societies occurred to determine whether all of the relevant
accounts have been closed. That confirmation has now been
received.
Section 314 would repeal certain sections of the Fisheries Act
1983. Most of this Act has already been repealed and the
remaining provisions will be dealt with when required by
legislation. Section 338 if brought into force would create a one off
transitional 18 month fishing year for packhorse rock lobsters.
There are no plans to implement this.

Fishing Vessel Ownership
Savings Act 1977
Forests Amendment Act 1996
Government Superannuation
Fund Amendment Act (No 2)
1990
Section 12
Hawke’s Bay Earthquake Act
1931
Hawke’s Bay Earthquake Relief
Funds Act 1931
Hutt Road Act 1939
Labour Department Act Repeal
Act 1989
Licensing Fund Act 1989
This Act encourages saving for fishing vessel ownership through
Fishing Vessel Ownership Accounts (as defined in that Act). It was
amended by the Fishing Vessel Ownership Savings Amendment Act
1984 so that no accounts were to be opened on or after 1 January
1985. After the Farm and Fishing Vessel Ownership Savings
Schemes (Closure) Act 1998 was enacted all Fishing Vessel
Ownership Accounts in existence on 30 June 2001 were required
to be closed and their balances paid to their depositors. This Act
appears to be spent on the basis that these accounts should now
be closed.
As noted above, consultation with the banks and relevant building
societies occurred to determine whether all of the relevant
accounts have been closed. That confirmation has now been
received.
The Act was intended to create a registration regime for contracts
between forest owners and other people where the contract was
for the harvest or sale of forests. The general laws of property and
contract will manage the interests covered by the Act.
If brought into force, section 12 would change the way in which
contributions are paid into the Government Superannuation Fund
(the Fund). Currently there is a distinction between “funding”
employers and “non-funding” employers. The impact of section 12
would be that “non-funding” employers (such as Government
departments) would pay directly to the Fund instead of through
the Crown making a global payment on their behalf. The
Government does not intend to bring this section into force.
This Act creates powers, including a Court, associated with the
recovery from the Hawke’s Bay Earthquake in 1931. This purpose
has been achieved.
The Hawke’s Bay Regional Council, Napier City Council and
Hastings District Council have been consulted. Councils have
confirmed that there are no objections to its repeal.
The Act established a body corporate under the name of the
Central Committee of the Hawke's Bay Earthquake Relief Funds.
This Committee has completed its work.
This Act abolished the Wellington City and Suburban Highways
Construction Board of Control which was established in 1924,
vested portions of the Hutt Road in respective local authorities and
provided that the Council refund any unexpended monies
contributed by local authorities to the construction of the Hutt
Road.
Repeals the Labour Department Act 1954.
This Act continued the Licensing Fund established under legislation
that has since been repealed. The Licensing Fund account has been
closed.

Local Authority Reorganisation
(Property Transfers) Act 1990
Local Restoration Polls Act
1990
Marine and Power Engineers
Institute Industrial Disputes
Act 1974
Medicines Amendment Act
2013
Sections 2(1), 5(2), 8, 11 to 15,
17 to 21, 29(1), 32, 33(2), and
34.
Mental Hospitals Reserves Act
1908
Ministry of Economic
Development Act 2000
Mortgagors and Lessees
Rehabilitation Act 1936
Mount Albert Licensing Trust
Dissolution Act 1986
The Act was passed following the 1989 nationwide reorganisation
of local government. It enabled the Local Government Commission
to investigate any transfer of property by a former local authority
that occurred between 14 November 1988 and 31 October 1989.
This Act relates to local restoration polls, which legalise liquor sales
in previously ‘dry’ districts. All areas in New Zealand now permit
the sale of alcohol.
Section 3 declares the institute and each branch to be societies of
workers for the purposes of Part 10 of the Industrial Relations Act
1973.
The Industrial Relations Act 1973 was repealed by section 358(1) of
the Labour Relations Act 1987 which was in turn repealed by
section 174 of the Employment Contracts Act 1991 which was in
turn repealed by section 241 of the Employment Relations Act
2000.
Since the Medicines Amendment Act 2013 was passed the
Government has made significant decisions in respect of how it
wishes to regulate therapeutic products in New Zealand such that
it is no longer necessary or desirable for these provisions to come
into force. These provisions have a default commencement date of
1 July 2017.
This Act provides for the transfer of Mount View Reserve to
Wellington hospital and the transfer of Wellington Hospital
Reserve to the Crown. The Transfer provisions in the Act are spent.
It further allows the Governor (as it was then) to grant leases of
Wellington Hospital Reserve and Nelson Mental Hospital Reserve
on behalf of the Crown and that any lease proceeds be paid into
the public account. Land owners can now make their own lease
arrangements. The Act further required that the Mount View
Reserve be held on trust as a hospital for infectious diseases, and
that the Wellington Hospital Reserve be “reserved and set apart
accordingly as an endowment for the establishment and
maintenance of mental hospitals”. Neither of these actions has
been done, and it would be neither possible nor desirable to
rectify these breaches as the former reserve is now owned by the
Wellington City Council, the concept of an infectious diseases
hospital is outdated, and it would be impractical to require that
the later reserve operate as a ‘mental hospital’.
This Act provides for transitional matters relating to the change of
name of the Ministry of Commerce, the Secretary of Commerce to
the Ministry of Economic Development and the chief executive of
the Ministry of Economic Development.
The Ministry of Economic Development no longer exists.
This Act was passed to address the economic depression in the
early 1930s. It is unlikely there are any mortgages or leases to
which the Act still applies.
This Act provides for the dissolution of the Mount Albert Licensing
Trust and to include its trust area in that of the Portage Licensing
Trust.

Municipal Insurance Act 1960
National Development Act
Repeal Act 1986
National Expenditure
Adjustment Act 1932
New Zealand Council for
Postgraduate Medical
Education Act Repeal Act 1990
New Zealand Export–Import
Corporation Dissolution Act
1992
New Zealand National Airways
Corporation Dissolution Act
1978
Okarito Harbour Act 1932-33
The purpose of this Act was to authorise County Councils and
Municipal local authorities respectively, to form co-operative
insurance companies. In both cases, the consent of the Minister of
Finance was required to the registration of the company, and to
any amendment to its constitution or articles of association. These
functions are now covered by general empowering provisions in
the Local Government Act 2002.
Repeals the National Development Act 1979.
The parts and sections within those parts that are still in force
(public expenditure adjustment, reduction of pensions and
allowances payable out of the Consolidated Fund, reduction of
interest, rent, and other fixed charges, stamp duty on receipts of
interest from government and local bodies securities, rates of
interest on deposits payable by investment societies and Trading
companies deposits) are referring to processes and authorities that
are no longer applicable, or that are covered by more recent
legislation such as the Public Finance Act 1989 and Members of
Parliament (Remuneration and Services) Act 2013.
This Act dissolved the New Zealand Council for Postgraduate
Medical Education.
The New Zealand Export-Import Corporation was established in
1974. Its objective was to promote and encourage the
development of overseas trade. It ceased trading in November
1990 and was deemed no longer necessary for New Zealand’s
trading capability. The New Zealand Export-Import Corporation
Dissolution Act 1992 was enacted to dissolve the Corporation. The
Act has served its purpose as the company has been dissolved and
the 5 year prohibition on registering a company with the same
name has expired.
In 1978 the New Zealand National Airways Corporation (NAC) was
merged with Air New Zealand Limited. This Act dissolved the NAC
and transferred its liabilities and assets to Air New Zealand. Air
New Zealand was consulted, and agreed that all provisions are
spent.
This Act empowers the Governor General by Order in Council to
vest control and management of the Okarito Harbour to any
persons for a period not exceeding 25 years. Only one Order was
ever made under this Act to provide for the construction of
harbour works, which has since expired. Any harbour works of this
nature can be dealt with under the Resource Management Act
1991, and vesting of control can also be met under the current
system of leasing land.
11
Parole Amendment Act 2007
These sections are related to the Sentencing Council Act 2007,
which is proposed for repeal.
Sections 4(1), (3), and (7), 16,
48, 49, and 67.
Post Office Act Repeal Act 1987
Repeals the Post Office Act 1959 and winds up various funds
associated with the Post Office.
Public Safety Conservation Act
Repeal Act 1987
This Act repeals the Public Safety Conservation Act 1932.
Public Service Investment
Society Management (No 2)
Act 1979
This Act provides for the protection of depositors and creditors of
the Public Service Investment Society Limited and its associated
companies. This Act ceased to apply to the Public Service
Investment Society Limited and all the companies named in
Schedule 1 of that Act as a result of the Public Service Investment
Society Management Order 1987.
Only two sections remain in force. The title section and section 6
which amends the Housing Amendment Act 1921-22. This
amendment has already occurred, and subsequently the Housing
Amendment Act 1921-22 has been repealed.
The purpose of this legislation is to create special provisions as to
the application of rent restriction legislation to dwelling houses in
the Hawke’s Bay earthquake area. This purpose is spent as there is
no longer need for special legislation to respond to the 1931
Hawke’s Bay Earthquake, and much of the legislation which it
applies to has been repealed, including the Hawke’s Bay
Earthquake Act 1931 which is proposed for repeal in this Bill.
The Royal New Zealand Institute of Horticulture (RNZIH) is
incorporated under the Incorporated Societies Act 1908 and has
been given a Royal Charter. This Act empowers the RNZIH to grant
certificates and hold examinations as part of a qualification
framework for horticulture and apiculture. These powers are no
longer required as the New Zealand Qualifications Framework
provides a framework for horticulture and apiculture
qualifications. Repeal of this Act will not affect the status of the
RNZIH or its royal charter. The RNZIH has been consulted on the
repeal of this Act.
Section 9 provides that Parts 4 and 5 expire on 31 October 2011.
Parts 4 and 5 have expired. The rest of the Act expires on the date
specified in the Order in Council made under section 15. The Rugby
World Cup 2011 (Dissolution) Regulations 2014 (LI 2014/342)
provided that the Act expired on 4 December 2014 (the
commencement date of the Regulations).
Part 2 establishes the Rugby World Cup Authority. The Authority
continues until it is dissolved in accordance with section 15. The
Authority has been dissolved.

Seamen’s Union Funds Act
1971
Sentencing Amendment Act
2007
This Act provided for the management of the assets of the
deregistered New Zealand Seamen's Industrial Union of Workers.
The Act vests the assets of the union in the Public Trust until they
are vested in a new union. The inclusion in the final Bill is still
subject to consultation with Public Trust.
These sections are related to the Sentencing Council Act 2007,
which is proposed for repeal.
Sections 5, 6(1), 12, 15, 45, 46,
49(1), (2), and (5), and 52 to 54.
Sentencing Council Act 2007
Southland Electricity Act 1993
The Sentencing Council Act 2007 came into force on 1 November
2007 but was not implemented. No appointments have been
made to the Council. Repealing the Act will clarify that the
Sentencing Council will not be created.
This Act provides for the acquisition by the Crown of shares in the
capital of The Power Company Ltd (PCL), a company incorporated
under the Companies Act 1955, the vesting in PCL of the assets and
liabilities of the Southland Electrical Power Supply and Crown
administration and control over PCL.
In 1998 the Crown transferred its shares in PCL to the trustees of
the Southland Electrical Power Supply Consumer Trust. The Act is
no longer required since the Crown is now not the shareholder of
PCL and no longer exercises any ownership control.
Sport and Recreation New
Zealand Act 2002
Sections 18 to 22,
Sections 53 to 61
State Insurance Act 1990
State Sector Act 1988
Sections 96 to 105, 107 to 109,
110(3) and (4), and 112.
Officials have consulted with PCL and the Southland Electrical
Power Supply Consumer Trust, on the repeal of this Act.
Repealing sections 18-22 would abolish the 3 person Nominations
Advisory Group (NAG) which gives nonbinding advice to the
Minister about new appointments to the Sport New Zealand
board. The provisions were intended to be in place for around 7
years while the entity was becoming established. Abolishing the
provisions would bring the appointments process for the board in
line with other Crown entities (e.g. District Health Boards).
Sections 53-61 relate to the abolition of the Hillary Commission.
They have been completed and are now redundant.
The Act enabled Ministers to form and register a private company
under the Companies Act 1955, and to vest the assets and
liabilities of the State Insurance Office and the State Insurance
General Manager in that company. This private company is State
Insurance Ltd, which was initially sold to Norwich Union and is now
wholly owned by Insurance Australia Group (IAG). IAG New
Zealand Ltd (part of the IAG group) has been consulted on the
repeal of this Act.
These are miscellaneous transitional provisions providing for the
transition to the State Sector Act 1988. They are considered to
have been completed.
13
State Sector Amendment Act
(No 2) 2004
The Act consists of just 3 sections (including title and
commencement). Section 16 can be transferred to the State Sector
Act, allowing for the rest of the Act to be repealed.
Statutes Repeal Act 1907
This Act repealed a number of spent Acts.
Taranaki Harbours Act 1965
This Act constituted the Taranaki Harbours Board and dissolved
the Taranaki Harbour Board and the Patea Harbour Board. In 1989
all harbour boards, with the exception of the Marlborough
Harbour Board, were abolished as part of local government
reorganisation. All assets have been divided between regional and
territorial authorities.
Terralink was a State Owned Enterprise which went into
receivership in 2001 and was struck off the companies register on
5 April 2013. Any existing entitlements of former Terralink
employees will be preserved under other legislation.
This Act abolishes the Tobacco Board.

Waterfront Industry
Restructuring Act 1989
This Act provides for the incorporation of the Tourist Hotel
Corporation of New Zealand Limited under the Companies Act
1955. This has already occurred and, as such, the provisions of the
Act are spent. The Tourism Hotel Corporation of New Zealand Ltd
(Company Number 466408) was dissolved on 8 August 2000 and
has been struck off. In light of this, MBIE and the Treasury see no
reason for the Act to remain on the statute book.
Abolishes the Department of Trade and Industry and repeals the
Trade and Industry Act.
This Act (formerly titled the Counties Amendment Act 1961)
continued the existence and powers of the Waimakiriri-Ashley
Water Supply Board, the only water supply board constituted
under the Water Supply Act 1908 remaining in existence by 1961.
All the operative provisions in the 1961 Act were subsequently
consequentially repealed in favour of generic water supply and
water-race provisions in the Local Government Acts of 1974 and
2002.
This Act dealt with employers’ obligations to make redundancy
payments following a restructuring of the waterfront industry in
the late 1980s. It established the Waterfront Industry
Restructuring Authority, which had the power to make payments
to employers to cover their obligation to make redundancy
payments.

This Act amended the Church Property Trust (Canterbury) Act 1879
as it related to the Bishopric Estate and Dean and Chapter Estate.
Specifically it shifted any taxation liability for payments from the
Estates to the recipient of the payments rather than having them
deducted at source.
This Act specifically required and authorised the Church Property
Trustees to pay to certain individuals amounts that they, in turn,
had paid in property tax together with associated costs. The tax

Trustees which were then to be repaid after the Church Property
Trustees itself issued debentures.
This Act enabled the Liverpool and London and Globe Insurance
Company to sue, be sued and conduct other commercial activity in
New Zealand.
This Act validated the appointment of Michael Connelly, Esquire,
to the Legislative Council.
This Act enabled the Phoenix Assurance Company of London to
sue, be sued and conduct other commercial activity in New

This Act releases the Southland Flood Relief Committee from
administrating remaining funds provided for flood relief in
Southland and transfers administration to a trust.
This Act provides for the registration of the Sydenham Money Club
as a Building Society.
Finance Acts
The Treasury has reviewed all of the Finance Acts which have sections still in force.
The following types of provisions have been listed for repeal:
• Provisions which validate a past action.
• Provisions which authorise an action to occur within a defined time period and that time
period has passed.
• Amendment provisions which have been incorporated into the Act they amend.
• Repeal provisions so long as they do not include saving provisions.
15
• Short title/commencement/interpretation sections where all of the substantive provisions
they relate to have been, or are to be, repealed.
In addition there are provisions which are clearly redundant because they deal with entities or
systems which are no longer in existence or because they implement policies which are defunct.
Following consultation with relevant teams within Treasury we have listed these for repeal as well.
