Line 39:
 
Repeals can be with or without savings.
 
A '''repeal without savings''' eliminates the repealed statute completely.
 
A '''repeal with savings''' preserves the effect of the repealed statute for limited purposes, such as acts already done or in hand, or regulations made under the repealed Act are continued in force. In England and Wales, sections 15 to 17, and section 19(2), of the Interpretation Act 1978 set out general savings and similar provisions exist in the law of Ireland and other common law countries.
