Manual textual amendments
On occasion you might find that there is no task information associated with the provision you are updating. If this is the case, you can carry out the amendment manually.
Check out the affected provision either from the Update Details page or from the Table of Contents. Check out the amending document using the manual options - Legislation – Download the Amending Document
Edit the pre-populated field with the URL for your amending legislation (use the editorial website to work out what this should be), for example:
https://editorial.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2012/3039/regulation/18/made/data.xml?view=edit
Copy the amending text and use the manual menu option to insert or substitute your text – Legislation – Manual Textual Amendments:
You will be presented with a number of pop-up boxes:
- Confirm if this is an inline amendment or a block amendment. This will default to inline, you only need to change this to block if you are doing a whole provision insertion/substitution or other block amendment.
- You will be warned that you haven’t associated the amendment with any tasks. Press OK.
- When asked to provide the text for the annotation, again press OK to insert a blank annotation (it is much easier to draft the annotation in the document than in the box provided):
Draft your annotation based on the information on the update details page and the effects spreadsheet, for example:
S. 17A inserted (19.12.2012) by The Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 Amendment Regulations 2012 (S.I. 2012/3039), reg. 18 (with Sch. 3)
Please cite the full title of the amending legislation this will enable the system to generate a link (Note: we are still working on automatically generating the links to the provisions – please don’t worry about these in the manual annotations. When we fix this we will do a global fix which will automatically add in links to all previously created manual annotations).
In all other respects the amendments should look the same as any other:
If you carry out any manual textual amendments, please add a note for the reviewer next to the effect noting that the amendment and annotation were added manually.
