Part 3: Judicial Offices Section 128: Consequential etc provision
Section 128 brings into effect Schedule 4, which makes consequential amendments relating to sitting in retirement. Section 128(2) allows the "appropriate national authority" to make regulations to amend Schedule 4. Section 128(3) defines "appropriate national authority". The effect of this definition is for the Northern Ireland Department of Justice, the Welsh Ministers or the Lord Chancellor to each be an "appropriate national authority" depending on the context.
	Section 128(4) provides that any regulations made under section 128(2) may amend, repeal or revoke any provisions made by any enactment. Under section 128(5), regulations made under section 128(2) which deal with primary legislation are subject to the affirmative procedure, while section 128(6) specifies that any other regulations are subject to the negative procedure. Section 128(7) makes interpretive provision.
