Limited extent amendments occur when the amendment to be applied has a narrower geographical extent (or territorial application) than that of the amended provision. In such cases it is our aim to ensure that we don’t remove or replace text that is still applicable in other jurisdictions.
Whether or not an amendment is limited extent or not will have been established prior to update through extent research. The editorial system will compare the affecting and affected extent when the update is allocated and where a limited extent amendment is found a warning message will appear on the ‘Update Details’ page and the extents for the relevant amendments will appear in red: [Add screenshot]
There are special amendment options available in XMetaL for limited extent amendments which will produce slightly different results than for standard amendments. If you attempt to use the standard menu options when carrying out a limited extent amendment XMetaL will prompt you to use the Limited Extent Menu options.
Limited Extent Insertion: A limited extent insertion will look exactly the same as a standard insertion. The only difference is that the extent will be added to the XML. This information will be used by the website to identify the extent of the amendment. The annotation should include a reference to the extent.
Limited Extent Repeals: Limited Extent Repeals will not result in the text being replaced by a dotty line. Instead the repeal text will be retained, enclosed by brackets and <repeal> tags, with a f-note reference appearing immediately after the opening bracket. As with insertions the extent of the amendment will be added to the XML and the annotation should include reference to the extent.
Limited Extent Substitutions: Limited Extent Substitutions will result in both the new and the old text being retained side by side. Both sets of text will be enclosed by brackets with a f-note reference appearing immediately after each opening bracket. The old text will be enclosed by <repeal> tags and the new <addition> tags. As with repeals and insertions the extent will be added to the XML and the annotation should include reference to the extent. Note: there is currently an issue with the front-end presentation of the limited extent repeals which means that in preview you will only be able to see the new text. When this has been resolved the presentation will be corrected for all amendments that have already been carried out.
