Decimal Currency Act, 1970
|
Modification of forms. |
11.—(1) (a) Where any form which is set out in a statute or statutory instrument passed or made before decimal day and which contains a reference to a sum of money in the old currency other than a whole number of pounds is issued before decimal day, the form may be modified by the authority issuing it so as to show also the appropriate amount in the new currency. | |
(b) In the foregoing paragraph the reference to the appropriate amount in the new currency shall be construed as a reference to such amount in the new currency as, having regard to section 9 of this Act, an order under section 10 of this Act or any other statute or statutory instrument (as the case may require), corresponds to the sum of money in the old currency referred to in the form. | ||
(2) Any form set out in a statute or statutory instrument passed or made before decimal day which is designed to accommodate references to sums of money wholly or partly in shillings or pence may be modified, either by the authority issuing it or the person using it, to enable it to accommodate references to sums of money wholly or partly in new pence. | ||
(3) Subsections (1) and (2) of this section are without prejudice to any other provision authorising the modification of any such form. |
