Part 8: General Commentary on Sections: Part 8 Section 145: Power to make supplementary or other provision
653.Subsection (1) allows the Lord Chancellor (or the Secretary of State in relation to Chapter 3 of Part 5) to make an order for supplementary, consequential and transitional provisions, while subsection (2) makes it clear that such an order can amend or repeal other enactments. This type of provision is not unusual in Acts which reform existing statutory schemes and therefore require transitional provisions and/or which have a large number of consequential amendments, see for example the Courts Act 2003.
