Repealed in part

Where the repeal is restricted in its application either by a limited extent or for specified purposes the text of the Part, Chapter, Schedule or Act should be retained and an F-note inserted at the top of the Part, Chapter or Schedule, or at introductory text level for an Act. The instructions in this section should therefore only be followed if:

  • this is the first time the Part, Chapter, Schedule or Act has been repealed, and
  • the repeal is for a limited extent or for specified purposes.

Repealed in part: applying incremental amendments

Where the Part, Chapter, Schedule or Act has previously been repealed in part but is still restricted in its application, either by extent or for specified purposes, in your current Point in Time, your task is to check the automatically generated annotation. The system will insert the new commencement information into the "F-note" of the previous repeal in part amendment. There can be several Points in Time before the amendment comes into force wholly or for whole extent, the instructions in this section should be followed for each of these amendments but only if:

  • the Part, Chapter, Schedule or Act has been repealed previously for a limited extent or specified purpose, and
  • this amendment brings that specific amendment further into force for specified purposes or limited extent (if, instead, the repeal in your Point in Time brings the amendment wholly into force and/or extends the amendment's extent to the whole extent of the Part, Chapter, Schedule or Act, follow these instructions).

Instructions

On the amendment's "Update Details" page select the tab "Newly Edited Version" or the "Preview Provision" button.

  1. Check the F-note is at heading level.
  2. Check the corresponding annotation is punctuated correctly, and with reference to TOES check the usual annotation elements are present and the following elements have been inserted:
    1. at the start of the annotation in the bracketed commencement date:
      1. the additional commencement date, and
      2. the commencement date qualification;
    2. at the end of the annotation:
      1. the commencement order,
      2. the commencement provision(s), and
      3. Savings (if applicable).

Tips
  • If any of the new elements of the annotation are missing, follow the guidance on manual auto annotations [link].

Repealed wholly

No previous retained text repeals

Where the repeal of the Part, Chapter, Schedule or Act is wholly in force and whole extent, there is an option to use the Auto Repeal function. These amendments are not carried out in XMetaL but automatically generated by the system when the Auto Repeal button has been selected from the "Update Details" page (accessed by clicking on the "Details" button next to the update task you are going to complete on the "Update Overview" page). The instructions in this section should only be followed if the repeal in your current Point in Time is:

  • the first time the Part, Chapter, Schedule or Act has been repealed,
  • for the whole extent of the Part, Chapter, Schedule or Act; and
  • wholly in force.
