2.—(1) The power of making orders conferred by section 22 of the Principal Act and now vested in the Minister shall extend to and include the making of orders for all or any of the following purposes, that is to say:—
|
|
| |
(a) for directing or authorising the slaughter, at such places as the Minister may appoint, by persons appointed by the Minister for the purpose, of animals affected with any disease, other than cattle plague, pleuro-pneumonia, foot-and-mouth disease, or swine-fever;
|
|
| |
(b) for limiting the operation of such orders to animals for the time being in the district of a specified local authority or authorities;
|
|
| |
(c) for the delivery to persons so appointed of animals so directed or authorised to be slaughtered by such persons;
|
|
| |
(d) for the payment by the Minister of compensation in respect of any such animals so slaughtered;
|
|
| |
(e) for fixing, with the consent of the Minister for Finance, the amount of such compensation.
|
|
| |
(2) Where an order (in this sub-section referred to as the substitutive order) is made by the Minister under section 22 of the Principal Act, as amended by this section, directing or authorising the slaughter by persons appointed by the Minister for the purpose of animals affected with any disease, and at the time the substitutive order comes into force an order (in this sub-section referred to as the original order) is in force under section 19 of the Principal Act in relation to such animals and such disease, and the substitutive order applies to the district of a local authority to which the original order applies, the following provisions shall have effect, that is to say:—
|
|
| |
(a) the original order shall cease to have effect in relation to such district;
|
|
| |
(b) if the substitutive order is revoked, the original order shall on such revocation again come into operation in relation to such district;
|
|
| |
(c) such cesser of the original order shall not, in relation to the period during which it was for the time being in force immediately preceding such cesser, affect—
|
|
| |
(i) the previous operation of the original order or anything duly done or suffered under the original order; or
|
|
| |
(ii) any right, privilege, obligation or liability, acquired, accrued or incurred under the original order; or
|
|
| |
(iii) any penalty, forfeiture, or punishment incurred in respect of any offence under the original order; or
|
|
| |
(iv) any investigation, legal proceeding, or remedy in respect of any such right, privilege, obligation, penalty, forfeiture or punishment, as aforesaid;
|
|
| |
any such investigation, legal proceeding, or remedy may be instituted, continued or enforced, and any such penalty, forfeiture, or punishment may be imposed, as if the said original order had not so ceased to have effect.
