Renumbering whole provisions
When a provision is renumbered, it should be treated as though the original provision is omitted and a new provision (with exactly the same text) is inserted. This will maintain the correct URL for each provision and so preserve the continuity of the URLs.
For example, S.I. 2020/150 reg. 6A was renumbered as reg. 6B on 25/12/2020 and a new reg. 6A was inserted. This resulted in the following URLs:
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/nisr/2020/150/regulation/6A
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/nisr/2020/150/regulation/6B
To achieve this, new <ukl:P1group> tagging was inserted for reg. 6B and new <ukl:P1> tagging was inserted into this (using the Element List). The existing content of reg. 6A was copied into this new tagging (via straightforward copy and paste of everything within the <ukl:P1para> tagging). The number 6A was copied from the amending provision and inserted into the number tagging using the update task in the Task Manager to generate the square brackets and annotation.
The new reg. 6A was then substituted for the old reg. 6A using the insertion task to generate the square brackets and correct annotation for that task.
The annotation for the original insertion of reg. 6A was also amended to say that reg. 6A was subsequently renumbered as reg. 6B (so this information is then visible both in the old reg. 6A at the previous PiT and also in the new reg. 6B at the current PiT).
In this example, there was a new provision inserted for the provision that was renumbered. However, if there had been no insertion of a new provision in this way, the original provision should have been repealed using the same task so both the omitted old provision and the renumbered new provision had the same annotation.
Renumbering paragraphs within a Schedule
If you are renumbering a paragraph within a Schedule, you need to insert new <ukl:P1> tags for the new renumbered provision using the Element List.
Copy the number of the renumbered paragraph and insert that into the number tags using the update task to get the annotation. The brackets should remain around the new paragraph number.
Next, copy the <ukl:P1para> tagging containing all the content from the original paragraph and paste that into the new renumbered paragraph.
Finally, use the same task to repeal the original paragraph so both the omitted old paragraph and the renumbered new paragraph have the same annotation.
Example
Renumbering sub-provisions
This will commonly involves renumbering a whole provision as a sub-provision and then inserting new sub-provisions into the provision.
New <ukl:P2> tagging for the new renumbered sub-provision, then copying the number of the renumbered sub-provision and inserting that into the number tags using the update task to get the annotation. The brackets should remain around the new sub-provision number.
The content of the original provision or subs-provision <ukl:P2para> tagging containing the content of the original sub-provision are also copied and pasted into the newly renumbered sub-provision.
Example
2017 c. 3 s. 50 renumbered as s. 50(1) and new s. 50(2) inserted
