How is an order made under the repealed Building Code Act treated under the new act?

An order made under the repealed Building Code Act is treated as being continued as an order under the new act. This means that any valid orders that were issued prior to the repeal remain in effect and carry over under the new legislation. This continuation ensures that there is no legal gap or disruption for individuals or entities that were operating under the previous regulations. It allows for a seamless transition to the new Building Code while maintaining the enforcement of orders that were already in place.

This approach is designed to ensure compliance and continuity in the enforcement of building regulations, as it recognizes the effectiveness of previously issued orders rather than rendering them void upon the enactment of new legislation. This is critical in upholding the integrity of the regulatory framework and providing clarity to all parties involved in building and construction activities.
