Here's a legal puzzle in three tweets

"26.—(1) The following Regulations are revoked—
...
(b)the Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel) (England) Regulations 2020 (“the International Travel Regulations”)"

"(4) Nothing in these Regulations applies in relation to a person who arrived in England before 4.00 a.m. on 17th May 2021 (and accordingly, the regulations mentioned in paragraph (1) continue to have effect in relation to such a person)."

How can regulations both be revoked and continue to have effect?

Or is what is really happening that they have been revoked *except* for people who arrived before 4am on 17 May 2021?

For context, in previous Covid regulations, certain regulations have remained in force for enforcement purposes for things that happened before the new regulations replaced them.
