Posted By John Beadle Does any body know if there is an easy way to find out what sections of the act are still current and in force. John

Posted By David Whaley John, There are (or were) some parts still in force. When I had reason to check one particular section last year I contacted our HSE Inspector who was very helpful, as it happened the section I was interested in had been repealed that year. You could try Google, it will throw up several references. David

Posted By Adrian Watson Dear Diane, You quickly learn about the usefulness of law citators; these are used to check the exact status of a law.
