Implied repeal

Okay kiddo, have you ever played a game and then changed the rules in the middle of the game without telling anyone? That would be pretty confusing and unfair, wouldn't it? Well, implied repeal is kind of like that, but instead of a game, it's about laws.

When people make laws, they usually want them to be permanent and clear so everyone knows what to expect. However, sometimes new laws are made that go against old laws, and this can cause confusion.

Implied repeal is a situation where a new law is made that contradicts an old law, but the new law doesn't say anything about getting rid of the old law. It's like changing the rules in the middle of the game without telling anyone.

Sometimes people might say that the new law "impliedly repeals" the old law, meaning that the new law is meant to replace the old law even if it doesn't say so explicitly.

This can cause problems because people might not know which law to follow, or they might accidentally break a law without realizing it. So, it's important for lawmakers to be clear when they make new laws and to make sure that they don't accidentally contradict old laws without getting rid of them first.
