Article 41 explained in plain English
This is the Law's closing article, and it contains two provisions:
- Publication: this Law is published in the Official Gazette; a law is not known to people until it is officially published.
- Taking effect: it takes effect ninety days after the date of its publication; it was not applied immediately on publication but after a grace period.
Calculating the period: the ninety days begin from the date of publication in the Official Gazette, not from the date the Law was issued or approved. The provision does not state the reason for this period, but in practice it means that the Law's provisions were not required to be applied during the first ninety days after publication, and became effective when it elapsed.
Before this article, Article 40 provides that the Chairman of the Board of Directors (the Minister of Justice) issues the Implementing Regulations of the Law, which show the details of applying its provisions.
The article does not state the date of publication itself, so anyone who needs to know exactly when the Law took effect should refer to the date of its publication in the Official Gazette.
