The Register of Interests Law, 1996 [Law 13 of 1996] is repealed but the repeal does not —
affect the previous operation of that Law or anything duly done or suffered under that Law;
affect any right, privilege, obligation or liability acquired, accrued or incurred under that Law;
affect any penalty, fine, forfeiture or punishment incurred in respect of any offence committed against that Law; or
affect any investigation, legal proceeding or remedy in respect of any such right, privilege, obligation, liability, penalty, fine, forfeiture or punishment as aforesaid,
and any such investigation, legal proceedings or remedy may be instituted, continued or enforced, and any such penalty, fine, forfeiture or punishment may be imposed as if this Act had not been passed.
Before the entry into force of this Act, the Registrar appointed under the repealed Register of Interests Law, 1996 [Law 13 of 1996] shall work with the Commission to transfer to the Commission all records that, at the commencement of this Act, shall fall under the jurisdiction of the Commission and, upon receipt of all records, the Commission shall by letter inform all persons whose records have been so transferred.
The date of the letter referred to in subsection (2) shall be deemed to be the date on which persons whose records are transferred made a declaration under section 11(1) and where that date is less than six months from 30 June, the declarant shall be exempted in that particular year from the need to file a return on 30 June.
For the avoidance of doubt it is declared that section 11 shall apply except to the extent expressly varied by this section.
