Textual Amendments generally refer to amendments where there is an authority to change the text of the legislation.

Amendment Types include:

  • Repeal
  • Revoke
  • Omit
  • Insert
  • Add
  • Substitute

These amendments authorise the editor to make changes to the text of the Act. However, where a provision “ceases to have effect”, or where the amendment cannot be applied, you need to follow the procedure for a textual amendment but without actually changing the text.

Textual Amendments can affect legislation at any level, for example the whole item of legislation, at high level (e.g. Part, Chapter or Schedule), at provision level, or at the level of words. Our approach to editing the legislation depends on the level at which the amendment is taking place. The guidance on textual amendments is therefore organised by the type of amendment you wish to carry out and what 'level' of the document the amendment affects.
