Notes
Clause 3 of SI 32 of 2011 attempted to retrospectively save a number of statutory instruments by adding them to the Schedule, contrary to section 29(2) of Cap 103 (Interpretation and General Provisions Act). Those instruments did not appear in the Schedule at the time Act 23 of 2010 was gazetted and were not therefore saved by section 20(3). The Instruments include: Licences (Fisheries) Regulations, 1987; Licences (Pig Breeding) Regulations; • Licences (Poultry Keeper) Regulations, 1987; Licences (Coco De Mer Dealers) Regulations, 1987;
