Executive Powers (Consequential Provisions) Act, 1937
|
Power of the Executive Council to make adaptations and transfers. |
5.—(1) The Executive Council may, by order, whenever they think proper, make in any statute or charter or in any order, warrant, regulation, or other instrument made (before the passing of the Principal Act) under any statute or charter any adaptation or modification which is not inconsistent with any provision of this Act and, in the opinion of the Executive Council, is consequential on the passing of the Principal Act and has become necessary or expedient by reason of such passing. | |
(2) The Executive Council may by order, whenever they so think proper, transfer to and confer or impose on the Executive Council any power, function, duty or jurisdiction which, immediately before the passing of the Principal Act, was by any means capable of being exercised or required to be performed by the King or by the Representative of the Crown (whether with or without any qualification or restriction) and is not conferred or imposed on the Executive Council by this Act or on any other person by virtue of an amendment of the Constitution effected by the Principal Act or by virtue of the Executive Authority (External Relations) Act, 1936 (No. 58 of 1936). | ||
(3) Every order made by the Executive Council under this section shall have effect according to the tenor thereof, and shall come into operation on such day (whether before, contemporary with, or after the date of such order but not prior in any case to the date of the passing of the Principal Act) as shall be appointed in that behalf by such order and, where the day so appointed is prior to the date of such order, such order shall be deemed for all purposes to have been in operation and had effect as on and from such day. |
