Dutch term

gew.

Dutch to English Law/Patents General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters gew.
Art. 28 + 29 Wet 1.08.1985 gew. Wet 22.04.2003 en KB 31.10.2005

I am unsure what gew. means in the sentence above. It is a sentence in a judgement by a police court.
I found somewhere that 'gew.' stands for 'repealed by'.
I would like to have some logic behind this as proof as I cant think of the word 'gew.' is the abbreviation for.

Not gewettigd/justified by This is a common legal abbreviation for gewijzigd as in (zoals) gewijzigd bij wet (or: koninklijk besluit) van [datum]. See answer already posted by James and see also the following glossaries:

Second sentence found. This is about costs incurred during the case and payable by the accused:
waarvan 51.20 EUR bij toepassing van artikel 91 K.B. 28 december 1950 gew. door K.B. 23.12.1993 en 11.12.2001. So Freek, possibly just "justified by"?

I think Amended can be abbreviated to Am.
Note from asker:
So repealed by is correct for 'gew.'?
I mean the meaning, but in English you say 'amended' without using any abbreviation?
I am not expressing myself very well, I know the two meanings are different. Thanks for your answer.
Thank you everyone and thank you James in particular.

agree Kitty Brussaard : Indeed, (zoals) gewijzigd bij wet (or: koninklijk besluit) van [datum] etc. See f.i. also https://www.eur.nl/esl/campus/sanders-law-library/juridische...

agree philgoddard : Not repealed. And I wouldn't abbreviate it because people won't know what it means.
