The Legislation Act 2003 authorises First Parliamentary Counsel to make editorial and presentational changes to a compiled law in preparing a compilation of the law for registration.

Misdescribed amendments
A misdescribed amendment is an amendment that does not accurately describe how an amendment is to be made.
