Article 22 explained in plain English
This Article explains how the current Statute relates to the earlier Statute of the Consumer Protection Association.
The rule: this Statute replaces the Consumer Protection Association Statute issued by Council of Ministers Resolution No. 3 dated 12/1/1429 AH.
What does "replaces" mean? That the earlier Statute is no longer the reference for the Association's affairs, and the provisions to be applied are those of this Statute, in every matter it covers.
The Article does not describe the content of the earlier Statute or the differences between it and the current one, so it cannot be concluded from its text alone that a particular provision existed before or was newly added.
This Article is linked to Article 23, which provides for publication of the Statute in the Official Gazette and its entry into force from the date of publication; from that date the current Statute replaces the earlier one.
The Article matters to readers because, if they find a reference to the 1429 AH Statute in an older source, they should consult the provisions of the current Statute as the one in force.
