(Barbados) The 1911 Act provided for the appointment of clergy, but did not envisage compulsory retirement. Clergy are public offcers within the 1947 Act, which did provide for retirement at the age of 60, but the Anglican Church in Barbados was disestablished in 1969, and the 1947 Act no longer applied. New regul;ations were made providing (inter alia) again for retirement, but these were not published in the Official Gazette as was required by the Interpretation Act.
Held: No obligation to retire was created because the regulations had not been properly published.
