Jump to search
Textual Amendments refer to amendments where there is an authority to change the text of the legislation.
Amendment Types include:
- Repeal
- Omit
- Ceases to have Effect
- Insert
- Add
- Substitute
Textual Amendments can affect legislation at any level e.g. whole Act, Part, words. Our approach to editing the legislation will depend 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.
