HRS §490:1-104
Protecting this law from being quietly canceled
This section says that the entire law should be treated as one complete set of rules. If later laws are passed, courts should avoid assuming this law was changed or canceled unless it is absolutely necessary. This helps keep the law stable and predictable.
