► 7.1. Bills of Exchange and Cheques ¹

¹ The 2011 Report of the Sales Law Review Group, available at www.djei.ie, recommended the repeal and replacement of the Sale of Goods Act 1893 and the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980 (and related Regulations that implemented relevant EU Directives). The Scheme of a Consumer Protection Bill 2015, available at www.djei.ie, proposes to replace the 1893 and 1980 Acts (and related Regulations) insofar as they apply to contracts between businesses and individual consumers (a further Bill is planned to repeal and replace the 1893 and 1980 Acts and related Regulations insofar as they apply to such contracts made between businesses). See also Title 6.2 (Civil Liability: Contract), above.

² Public Exp (in part): see S.I. No. 418 of 2011. ³ The status of this Act and related statutory instruments is uncertain because of Casual Trading Act 1980 (43/1980), s. 19, which repeals the Act insofar as it applies to casual trading and occasional trading, and provides for expiry of licences under the Act. It appears to be obsolete in practice and should be fully repealed and the SIs revoked. The 1980 Act was repealed by 19/1995, which governs trading including on a public road, and thereby appears to replace the 1926 Act.

³⁴ Community (in part): see S.I. No. 357 of 2017. Public Exp (in part): see S.I. No. 418 of 2011. ³⁵ This Act repealed Copyright Act 1963 (except for s. 59), and provided for the retention of SIs in s. 10 and sch. 1, part 1 para. 3(5): (5) Notwithstanding the repeal of the Act of 1963, any regulation, rule or order made under the Act of 1963 and which is in force immediately before the commencement of Part II of this Act shall continue in force and be deemed after the commencement of the said Part II to be made under the corresponding provisions of this Act. Copyright (Register of Dramatic Works) Rules 1964, S.I. No. 178 of 1964, was made under Copyright Act 1963, s. 55; there is no corresponding provision in 28/2000, and it appears that this SI has ceased to be in force. It should be revoked as a matter of clarity and good practice. The same applies to Copyright (Royalties on Records) Regulations 1964, S.I. No. 179 of 1964, made under s. 13; Copyright (Extended Application) Order 1991, S.I. No. 101 of 1991, made under s. 45(1), now apparently superseded by the definition of "authorised broadcaster" in 28/2000, s. 2(1). ³⁶ The enabling provision is Copyright Act 1963 (10/1963), s. 12(6), repealed by 28/2000, with provision for the retention of SIs in s. 10 and sch. 1, part 1 para. 3(5) (see footnote above). The corresponding provisions in 28/2000 are ss. 49 and following; they do not fully correspond to s. 12 of the 1963 Act, but para. (5) above does not stipulate complete correspondence, and the SI appears to survive. ³⁷ The enabling provision is Copyright Act 1963 (10/1963), s. 56(1), repealed by 28/2000, with provision for the retention of SIs in s. 10 and sch. 1, part 1 para. 3(5) (see footnote above). The corresponding provision in 28/2000 is s. 198(3). ³⁸ The enabling provisions are Copyright Act 1963 (10/1963), s. 35 and 36, repealed by 28/2000, with provision for the retention of SIs in s. 10 and sch. 1, part 1 para. 3(5) (see footnote above). The corresponding provisions in 28/2000 are ss. 362 and following. This SI appears to have been superseded by S.I. No. 20 of 2009, and should be revoked. This SI is the responsibility of the Revenue Commissioners. ³⁹ The enabling provision is Copyright Act 1963 (10/1963), s. 28, repealed by 28/2000, with provision for the retention of SIs in s. 10 and sch. 1, part 1 para. 3(5) (see footnote above). The corresponding provision in 28/2000 is s. 147. This SI is the responsibility of the Revenue Commissioners. ⁴⁰ The enabling provision is Copyright Act 1963 (10/1963), s. 43, repealed by 28/2000, with provision for the retention of SIs in s. 10 and sch. 1, part 1 para. 3(5) (see footnote above). The corresponding provisions in 28/2000 are s. 188 and 189. ⁴¹ The enabling provisions are Copyright Act 1963 (10/1963), s. 35 and 36, repealed by 28/2000, with provision for the retention of SIs in s. 10 and sch. 1, part 1 para. 3(5) (see footnote above). The corresponding provisions in 28/2000 are ss. 362 and following. This SI appears to have been superseded by S.I. No. 20 of 2009, and should be revoked.

⁴⁷ Public Exp (in part): see S.I. No. 418 of 2011. ⁴⁸ The first enabling provision is Industrial and Commercial Property (Protection) Act 1927 (16/1927), s. 152, and was repealed by the Industrial Designs Act 2001 (39/2001), s. 4(2), commenced by S.I. No. 275 of 2002. Section 152 had previously been repealed by Patents Act 1964 (12/1964), s. 5 and sch. 1, in so far as it related to patents, but regulations made under it were retained by a saver in s. 5 and sch. 2. The 1964 Act was repealed by Patents Act 1992 (1/1992), s. 5, again with a saver in sch. 1. Another enabling provision is Patents Act 1964 (12/1964), s. 93, included in the repeal by the 1992 Act and saver for instruments in sch. 1. This seems to indicate that these regulations remain in force.
