(1) For the purposes of this regulation—
(a) “replacement order” means an order which revokes and re-enacts another order, but has no other effect,
(b) “revocation order” means an order which revokes another order, but has no other effect,
(c) “previous order”, in relation to a revocation order or replacement order, means the order revoked by the revocation order or replacement order (as the case may be).
(2) Regulations 5, 6, 7 and (save as provided in paragraph (4)) 13 shall not apply to a revocation order or replacement order if—

(b) in relation to the previous order, the Secretary of State, at that date—
(i) has failed to comply with the requirements set out in sub-paragraphs (c) or (d) of regulation 14(1), or
(ii) is satisfied that he would not be able to comply with the requirements set out in either of those sub-paragraphs,
within the time limits specified therein and the revocation order or replacement order (as the case may be) states that he has so failed or is so satisifed;
(c) the Secretary of State at that date is satisfied that such failure or inability to comply was or is due to exceptional circumstances and the revocation order or replacement order (as the case may be) states that he is so satisfied;
(d) the Secretary of State made the previous order;
(e) in the case of a revocation order, the order comes into force on the date it is made;
(f) n the case of a replacement order—
(i) in so far as the order revokes the previous order it comes into force on the date that it is made,
(ii) apart from the different commencement dates and the revocation of the previous order, the previous order and the replacement order have the same effect, and
(iii) the Secretary of State had, in relation to the previous order, complied with—
(i) all the requirements of these Regulations other than regulations 14 and 15, and
(ii) all the requirements of the 1984 Act,
with respect to the making of such an order.
(3) Where by virtue of this regulation the Secretary of State makes a revocation order which comes into force on the date it is made he shall, if it is practicable, comply with the requirements set out in paragraphs (c) and (d) of regulation 14(1) within the time limits specified therein, but if such compliance is not practicable and he complies with each of the requirements as soon as practicable thereafter he shall be deemed to have complied with those paragraphs.
(4) Where by virtue of this regulation a replacement order comes into force on the day it is made in so far as it revokes a previous order, regulation 13 shall nevertheless apply to the replacement order in so far as it has any other effect.
