Question and options

On what date did the Registration Act, 1908 originally come into force under section 1(3)?

  1. 30 September 1908

  2. 31 December 1908

  3. 1 January 1909

  4. 1 April 1909

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C - 1 January 1909

Section 1(3) of the Registration Act, 1908 provides that the Act “shall come into force on the first day of January, 1909”. It was enacted in 1908 but did not take effect that year, so 30 September 1908 and 31 December 1908 are wrong, and 1 April 1909 is not the date the section fixes.
