Endnotes, Compilation table, and Table of provisions that have not come
into operation
1. Details about the original Ordinance and legislation that has amended its text
are shown in the Compilation table in endnote 1, at the back of the reprint.
The table also shows any previous reprint.
2. Validation, transitional, savings, or other provisions identified in the
Compilation table may be important. The table may refer to another endnote
setting out the text of these provisions in full.
3. A table of provisions that have not come into operation, to be found in
endnote 1a if it is needed, lists any provisions of the Ordinance being
reprinted that have not come into operation and any amendments that have
not come into operation. The full text is set out in another endnote that is
referred to in the table.
Notes amongst text (italicised and within square brackets)
1. If the reprint includes a section that was inserted, or has been amended, since
the Ordinance being reprinted was passed, editorial notes at the foot of the
section give some history of how the section came to be as it is. If the section
replaced an earlier section, no history of the earlier section is given (the full
history of the Ordinance is in the Compilation table).
Notes of this kind may also be at the foot of Schedules or headings.
2. The other kind of editorial note shows something has been —
•
removed (because it was repealed or deleted from the law); or
•
omitted under the Reprints Act 1984 s. 7(4) (because, although still
technically part of the text, it no longer has any effect).
The text of anything removed or omitted can be found in an earlier reprint
(if there is one) or one of the written laws identified in the Compilation table.
Reprint numbering and date
1. The reprint number (in the footer of each page of the document) shows how
many times the Ordinance has been reprinted. For example, numbering a
reprint as “Reprint 3” would mean that the reprint was the 3rd reprint since the
Ordinance was passed. Reprint numbering was implemented as from
1 January 2003.
2. The information in the reprint is current on the date shown as the date as at
which the Ordinance is reprinted. That date is not the date when the reprint was
published by the State Law Publisher and it is probably not the date when the
most recent amendment had effect.
