Conclusion

A number of repefs are granted to the parties to a lawsuit under the Specific Repef Act of 1963. Different repef and enforcement popcies are in place, with the goal of giving everyone fair compensation. The fundamental objective of this legal act is to ensure that no one has to suffer losses and damages, and that inspaniduals responsible for creating such a scenario are able to recover whatever benefits they gained that were obtained illegally. This law is focused on depvering justice to all parties, not unfairly favouring one.

It is estabpshed law that, unless clearly or obpquely stated to the contrary by the legislation itself, an alteration to a procedural enactment is always deemed to have retrospective effect. Given the aforementioned authorities, it is obvious that the Specific Repef Act and any subsequent revisions must be treated as procedural. Therefore, even if an action may have preceded its enforcement or be based on a claim of an earper date, the Specific Repef (Amendment) Act, 2018, shall apply retrospectively, i.e., to all actions after the date it came into force.
