Some amendments make changes to forms, maps, diagrams, etc. that are held as image files. We are unable to add, substitute or edit these image files ourselves. Instead, update editors should manually insert an F-note annotation in a suitable position in relation to the form tagging  and provide a more explanatory annotation using the drafter’s text.

A suitable position for an F-note reference for the annotation could be, for example, in the heading of the Schedule that contains the form; the <strong>Element List</strong> window will show you whether it is possible to insert a <code><CommentaryRef></code> tag in your chosen location.

If the amendments are more complex or so large that it seems unfeasible to include details in the annotation, then we could summarise the amendments in the annotation rather than giving verbatim text, but there should still be a more explanatory F-note than usual.  If you have any difficulty formulating such an annotation, consult a review editor.

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.
