Notes
1 General
This is a reprint of the Aquaculture Reform （Repeals and Transitional
Provisions） Act 2004. The reprint incorporates all the amendments to the Act as at
28 September 2008, as specified in the list of amendments at the end of these notes.
Relevant provisions of any amending enactments that have yet to come into
force or that contain relevant transitional or savings provisions are also included,
after the principal enactment, in chronological order.
2 Status of reprints
Under section 16D of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, reprints
are presumed to correctly state, as at the date of the reprint, the law enacted by
the principal enactment and by the amendments to that enactment. This presumption
applies even though editorial changes authorised by section 17C of the Acts and
Regulations Publication Act 1989 have been made in the reprint.
This presumption may be rebutted by producing the official volumes of
statutes or statutory regulations in which the principal enactment and its amendments
are contained.
3 How reprints are preparedA number of editorial conventions are followed in
the preparation of reprints. For example, the enacting words are not included in
Acts, and provisions that are repealed or revoked are omitted. For a detailed list of
the editorial conventions, see http://www.pco.parliament.govt.nz/legislation/reprints.shtml or Part 8 of the Tables
of Acts and Ordinances and Statutory Regulations and Deemed Regulations in Force.
4 Changes made under section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act
1989
Section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 authorises the making of
editorial changes in a reprint as set out in sections 17D and 17E of that Act so
that, to the extent permitted, the format and style of the reprinted enactment is
consistent with current legislative drafting practice. Changes that would alter the
effect of the legislation are not permitted.
A new format of legislation was introduced on 1 January 2000. Changes to
legislative drafting style have also been made since 1997, and are ongoing. To the
extent permitted by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, all
legislation reprinted after 1 January 2000 is in the new format for legislation and
reflects current drafting practice at the time of the reprint.
In outline, the editorial changes made in reprints under the authority of
section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 are set out below, and
they have been applied, where relevant, in the preparation of this reprint:
“omission of unnecessary referential words （such as “of this section” and
“of this Act”）
“typeface and type size （Times Roman, generally in 11.5 point）
“layout of provisions, including:
“indentation
“position of section headings （eg, the number and heading now appear above
the section）
“format of definitions （eg, the defined term now appears in bold type,
without quotation marks）
“format of dates （eg, a date formerly expressed as “the 1st day of January
1999” is now expressed as “1 January 1999”）
“position of the date of assent （it now appears on the front page of each
Act）
“punctuation （eg, colons are not used after definitions）
“Parts numbered with roman numerals are replaced with arabic numerals, and
all cross-references are changed accordingly
“case and appearance of letters and words, including:
“format of headings （eg, headings where each word formerly appeared with an
initial capital letter followed by small capital letters are amended so that the
heading appears in bold, with only the first word （and any proper nouns） appearing
with an initial capital letter）
“small capital letters in section and subsection references are now capital
letters
“schedules are renumbered （eg, Schedule 1 replaces First Schedule）， and
all cross-references are changed accordingly
“running heads （the information that appears at the top of each page）
“format of two-column schedules of consequential amendments, and schedules
of repeals （eg, they are rearranged into alphabetical order, rather than
chronological）。
