Guideline 29


Particular care should be used for drafting provisions affecting other provisions. The drafter should identify clearly the result to be produced on the other provisions and choose consequently the correct linguistic expression and legislative technique.

29.1. A provision can affect different aspects of other provisions:
  • their content,
  • their times of force or efficacy,
  • their legal-value or status.
29.2. Each provision meant to affect another provision should unambiguously specify both the affected provision (by indicating its reference) and the operation performed upon it. When a provision is meant to govern the times of force/efficacy, the corresponding dates must also be clearly indicated.
