This topic describes the form of annotation typically used for noting effects on revised legislation and explains the main conventions we follow in framing those annotations.
What follows is necessarily a brief overview, as the full guidance to editors on editorial policy and practice is very extensive. It should also be noted that the conventions described are those in current usage. SLD has inherited revised text and annotations from a succession of official revised editions of the statutes dating back to the late nineteenth century. This guidance does not attempt to document all the changes in practice that there have been over the years.
