Clause 10
Annual revision of revised edition of Acts
(1)
As soon as practicable after 1st January of the year in which the revised edition of Acts comes into force and thereafter after 1st January of each succeeding year, the Commissioners shall, with the intent that the revised edition of Acts shall be annually revised, cause to be published —
in the form of a separate booklet, a revised edition of any Act which has been amended during the period of twelve months ending on the preceding 31st December (referred to in this section as the relevant period);
in the form of a separate booklet, any new Act enacted during the relevant period, other than Acts the sole or substantial effect of which was to amend other Acts;
in the form of a booklet, either separately or together with any other such enactment or instrument, a new revised edition of any treaty or convention and other instruments already included in the revised edition of Acts which has been amended during the relevant period;
booklets containing such treaties, conventions and other instruments enacted, made or agreed to during the relevant period as they consider may usefully be published; and
a new table of contents and index to the revised edition of Acts, a chronological table of Acts and a list of the latest edition of each booklet containing an Act and included in the revised edition of Acts.
(2)
Notwithstanding subsection (1), the Commissioners shall not be required to prepare and publish a booklet containing a new revised edition of any Act, treaty or convention which has been amended if they consider that the amendments are not sufficiently extensive to justify the preparation and publication thereof, but they shall cause a separate booklet of minor amendments to be prepared and published in which all such amendments shall be contained.
(3)
Without prejudice to subsection (1), the Commissioners may cause to be published in the form of a separate booklet a new revised edition of any Act which has not been amended during the relevant period.
(4)
The Commissioners shall from time to time issue instructions for the insertion of booklets published under this section in the revised edition of Acts.
