    Page 39, line 10-

    After amendment 2.17, insert the following new amendments:

    [2.17A] Section 3, notes 1 and 2

    substitute

    Note 1

     The dictionary at the end of an Act usually defines certain words and expressions used in the Act, and includes references (signpost definitions ) to other words and expressions defined elsewhere in the Act. However, in this Act the dictionary is divided into 2 parts.

    Note 2 Part 1 defines words and expressions commonly used in Acts (including this Act) and statutory instruments. For example, because of the definition 'month means calendar month.', the word 'month' has the defined meaning wherever the word is used in an Act or statutory instrument unless the Act or instrument provides otherwise or the contrary intention otherwise appears (see s 144 and s 155 of this Act).

    Note 3 Part 2 defines certain words and expressions used in this Act. For example, the signpost definition 'administrator , for part 18.5 (Service of documents)-see section 246.' means that the expression administrator is defined for part 18.5 of this Act in section 246. A definition in part 2 of the dictionary applies to all of this Act unless the definition, or another provision of this Act, provides otherwise or the contrary intention otherwise appears (see s 155 and s 156 of this Act).

    Explanatory note

    This amendment is to replace the notes for the Legislation Act 2001, section 3 because the existing notes are no longer appropriate. The Bill provides for the provisions mentioned in the existing notes to be transferred to the Legislation Act 2001. It also provides for the dictionary to be in 2 parts.
