WHO IS SUPPOSED TO TELL US A LAW CANNOT BE RELIED ON ANYMORE?
By law, the parliament's job is to make laws. When a new law is made and agreed on by the MPs (and signed off by the President), the document usually has some writings on the back page which talk about what laws it is replacing. When a law is replaced, it means that anything that law said cannot be used against you. we say that law has been repealed. (Some people will fancifully say it is repealed law).
Parliament has a duty to tell the public first by stating this at the end of the new law through the repeal section. If a new law is completely replacing the old law or joining two old laws to make a new one, the new law will 'repeal' (Cancel the old laws) by stating that those old laws are now not useless and should not be relied on. This is usually a section at the end titled "Repeal" However, there are other ways that a law can be repealed and the public informed that it is no longer law.
For example, if you go to court and challenge how 'legal' a certain law is and the court declares that it is illegal. The court will have pronounced that that law can no longer be relied on.
For example, FIDA went to court and asked court to declare part of the succession law illegal and court allowed. That means that you cannot rely on those parts of the succession law to get what you want.
