Instructions
  1. In the effects spreadsheet identify:
    1. the Part, Chapter or Schedule to be substituted;
    2. the geographical extent of that substitution; and
    3. if there are any qualifications to the "IF Date".
  2. On the "HighLevel" tab of the higher amendments "Update Details" page, scroll down the "Table of Contents" to find the Part, Chapter, Schedule or relevant Heading level to be substituted and click on it. This will take you to the familiar lower level style "Update Details" page.
  3. Click the "Check out for edit" button and set up your XMetaL workspace.
  4. In the amending provision:
    1. read what the amendment is and where it goes, and
    2. select the appropriate opening "ukl:Part" / "ukl:Chapter" / "ukl:Schedule" tag after the "ukl:Primary" opening tag to highlight and copy the Part, Chapter or Schedule to be substituted.
  5. In the amended provision, select the appropriate opening "ukl:Part" / "ukl:Chapter" / "ukl:Schedule" tag after the "ukl:Primary" opening tag to highlight the Part, Chapter or Schedule that will be substituted out.
  6. Single click on the task to highlight it in the "Resource Manager" window.
  7. On the toolbar at the top of the page click "Legislation" --> "Textual Amendments" --> "Substitution"; this will:
    1. generate a green tick next to the task in the "Resource Manager" window,
    2. insert the annotation of the task, and
    3. substitute the new Part, Chapter or Schedule for the old Part, Chapter or Schedule, bracketed by opening "ukl:Substitution" and closing "ukl:Substitution" tags.
  8. By scrolling through the Part, Chapter or Schedule, check:
    1. the opening "ukl:Substitution" tag has been inserted after the "ukl:Number" tag at the beginning of the Part, Chapter or Schedule,
    2. the closing "ukl:Substitution" tag has been inserted before the closing "ukl:Text" tag of the last child provision in that Part, Chapter or Schedule, and
    3. the annotation has been generated.
  9. On the toolbar at the top of the page click "Legislation" --> "Check In".
  10. In the pop-up "Document is checked in successfully" click "OK".
  11. Go back to the "Update Details" page:
    1. refresh the page by pressing "CTRL" and "F5" at the same time, and
    2. check the amendment edit status has changed to "Edit Complete".
  12. Select the tab "Newly Edited Version" or the "Preview Provision" button to check:
    1. the amendment is formatted correctly and consistently, and
    2. the Part, Chapter or Schedule is formatted in the Act's "Table of Contents" correctly.
  13. Check the annotation is correct with reference to TOES:
    1. it is punctuated correctly, and
    2. the following elements are present (as applicable): Amended Provision – Type Of Effect – Extent* - Commencement Date – Amending Legislation – Amending Provision – Commencement Authority – Savings* - Commencement Order*  ?

Variations - Limited Extent and Specified Purposes

A limited extent and/or for specified purposes higher level substitution is rare and will present a unique set of circumstances each time it arises, as such you should consult with a reviewer to determine the appropriate course of action to take.

REVIEWERS

There is a now an Editorial Wiki folder in Objective, subdivided into Insertion, Substitution and Repeal folders. When an editor approaches you about a higher level limited extent/specified purpose substitution you should check if there are any previous examples in the Substitution folder. If there is an example with facts satisfactorily similar to your amendment, instruct your editor to follow this precedent and:

  • download and save a copy of the "Update Amendment Template" as "Limited Extent/Specified Purpose Higher Level Substitution [Act year and chapter]" to your computer,
  • fill out this document, detailing how the amendment was carried out and why it was carried out that way, and
  • save the document and upload a copy to the Substitution folder of the Editorial Wiki in Objective.

If there is not a precedent, consult with another reviewer and/or RH and relay the discussed instructions to your editor. Then, follow the bullet pointed instructions relating to the "Update Amendment Template" above.

Once there is a sufficient body of examples for a particular type of limited extent/specified purpose higher level substitution to establish an editorial policy, this section of the wiki will be replaced with instructions for the editor.

Unequal substitutions of whole provisions

More for less

A substitution of provisions where there will be more provisions than there were previously (for example see 1992 c. 13 ss. 27-27C, which were substituted for s. 27 by 2011 c. 21, Sch. 12 para. 7).

Instructions

If one of the provisions is to be substituted by the same numbered provision (as s. 27 is in the example cited):

  1. Substitute that provision only, as per the normal whole provision substitution method;
    1. NB this may apply to more than one of the target provisions;
  2. Insert the additional provisions at the appropriate parent level, following the whole higher level insertion method.

If none of the provisions to be “substituted in” share the same number as the existing provision/s to be “substituted out”:

  1. Repeal the existing provision, as per the whole provision substitution method;
  2. Insert the new provisions at the appropriate parent level,following the whole higher level insertion method.

Tips
  • All of the amendments (whether substitutions, insertions or repeals) should be completed using the same update task and therefore end up with identical annotations.
  • Where higher level provisions such as Schedules or Parts are replaced by new Schedules or Parts that do not share the same number (for example, see 2006 c. 32, Schs. 7A, 7B which were substituted for Sch. 7 by 2017 c. 4, Sch. 1), refer it to a reviewer to pass on to TSO.

Do not

  • Directly “substitute in” multiple new P1 provisions for an existing P1 provision because it will cause xml fragment id issues which will make the new P1s inaccessible from the Table of Contents.
  • Copy and paste the new provisions (e.g. ss. 27A-27C) after the substituted provision (e.g. s. 27) and then move the closing bracket to the end of the range, as newly inserted provisions (e.g., in the case cited, ss. 27A-27C) which share the same amendment brackets as the substitution of the same numbered provision (e.g. s. 27), give rise to false altdates and therefore an incorrect timeline in the newly inserted provisions.

Less for more

A substitution of provisions where there will be fewer provisions than there were previously.

Instructions

If one of the provisions is to be substituted by the same numbered provision:

  1. Substitute that provision only, as per the normal whole provision substitution method;
    1. NB this may apply to more than one of the target provisions;
  2. Repeal the provisions which are to be "substituted out" without replacement, following the the whole provision substitution method.

Tips
  • All of the amendments (whether substitutions, insertions or repeals) should be completed using the same update task and therefore end up with identical annotations.
  • An example of a “more for less” substitution is 1961 c. 33, ss. 6A-6E which were substituted for ss. 6-9 by 2017 c. 20, s. 32(3). This example illustrates how we have had to repeal ss. 6-9 and insert ss. 6A-6E because none of the provisions involved in this unequal substitution share the same numbers.

Do not

  • Directly substitute an existing provision (e.g. s. 6 in the above example) with a new provision which has a different number (e.g. s. 6A) because this will remove the original provision from the Table of Contents and cause confusion with the xml fragment ids.
