Parliament, Ordinances or Enactments issued under any written law providing for the issue of a revised edition, by its short title or its chapter number; and the reference may in all cases be made according to the copies of Acts of Parliament, Ordinances or
Enactments printed by the Government Printer.

Any reference in an Act of Parliament, Ordinance or Enactment, or in any subsidiary legislation, to any other written law shall, unless

the contrary intention appears, be construed as a reference to that other law as for the time being in force.
