This topic describes the main ways in which legislation may be cited (that is, referred to) in annotations on SLD. It does not set out to be an exhaustive description of all the ways in which legislation may be cited, whether in legislative text or elsewhere.
In this Help we have divided the citation methods into two categories

|
There are citations in footnotes in Statutory Instruments and other types of secondary legislation held on SLD that do not conform to SLD editorial practice. For a full explanation of the methods of citation used in Statutory Instruments, see para. 2.11 in the publication ‘Statutory Instrument Practice’ at http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si-practice.doc. |
For further information about the types of legislation mentioned in this topic, see Introduction to UK Legislation.
