Substitution - Statutes are not automatically retrospective just because they impact existing rights or draw from prior times; their retrospective effect depends on specific provisions. The scope of retrospective operation involves understanding whether a law applies to past events or rights. Relevant case law clarifies that retrospective operation is limited and context-dependent.

Analysis and Conclusion:
The sources collectively indicate that the retrospective or prospective application of laws, rules, and regulations hinges on explicit statutory provisions, the nature of the amendment, and judicial interpretation. Provisos play a crucial role in modifying the scope of retrospective effect, often providing exceptions or specific conditions. Courts emphasize that retrospective effect is not presumed and must be clearly stipulated, with many cases illustrating the importance of context and language in determining application scope.
