Background
Under the Legislation Act 2003, all class orders are repealed automatically or ‘sunset’ after a period unless ´óÏóÊÓÆµtakes action to preserve them. This ensures that legislative instruments like class orders are kept up-to-date and only remain in force while they are fit for purpose and relevant.
