Statutory Instrument
2025, No 4

Librarian Correction Order 2025​

Made 12 March 2025, circa 18:15 EDT
Coming into force immediately​

Whereas there are cases of non-substantive changes to legislation as in the Librarian Correction Order (No 1) 2018,

You must be registered for see links

:

And whereas the issue described below is not non-substantive:

The Librarian, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 3 of the Government (Reform) Act 2017 and section 5(c) of the Interpretation Act 2017, makes the following declaration and order:

1. There are major issues with the Recognition (Revision) Act 2025.
   
   
2. It fails to amend the proper provisions in a way that grammatically works. Specifically, it repeats things like "substitute 'MOE' for 'Member grade'" where "Member grade" is not present in the original proposal but "MOE" is. The problem here is that it is saying look in the original law for words-that-are-not-present and then substitute thing-that-is-present for words-that-are-not-present. This is a reversal of the formula which is expected.
   
   
3. Moreover, the bill inserts unnamed sections. How those sections are to be numbered is not clear. They cannot be continuations of the previous section since that would violate the statement of the bill that they are new sections. The confusion of the new sections seems also to be the cause of why Recognition (Revision) Act 2025 s 3(h) tells me "in section 8(a) substitute “the Order of Europe” for 'any order of dignity'": this has the problem above ("any order of dignity" doesn't appear in the bill to be amended) and section 8(a) does not exist. The actual section this was clearly meant to amend is section 7(a).
   
   
4. The Librarian has the authority under section 3 of the Government (Reform) Act 2017, now also known under the name Commission Act 2017, to "by order alter primary legislation for clarity, grammatical correction, ease of use, and logical consistency in a non-substantive manner" (as amended). This exercisable power, in my opinion, can resolve the unnumbered section described in paragraph 3 supra since doing so would be non-substantive. But it cannot extend to changing the law itself.
   
   
5. Changing the law itself is always substantive. I cannot make an order to amend the relevant sections of the Recognition (Revision) Act 2025 to make them say what they are supposed to mean; I have no authority to do that. Any attempt, successful or otherwise, to change primary legislation "without the authorisation of the European Parliament, or outside duties to do so set forth by law" is treason under the Criminal Law Act 2018 s 3(e).
   
   
6. The only power exercisable under the law in this matter is that to suspend the commencement of the Recognition (Revision) Act 2025 indefinitely. The power is granted in section 5(c) of the Interpretation Act 2017 and explicitly envisions this possibility: "The Librarian may by order suspend the commencement of amendment provisions which, in the opinion of the Librarian, do not logically cohere with the provisions being amended". The amendment provisions here do not logically cohere with the provisions being amended. More problematically, if I only allow the amendments that do semantically cohere to go into effect, the Recognition Act 2019 would become mauled beyond all recognition (pun intended) and stop functioning. The amendments cause the rest of the provisions to stop logically cohering. Since this power is the only one exercisable, I must do so.
   
   
7. The commencement of substantially all of the Recognition (Revision) Act 2025 is therefore and hereby suspended. This order may be cited as the Librarian Correction Order 2025. This order may be appealed against, by any elector, only to the European Council and only under action for an administrative injunction or declaration.

Amended by Librarian Correction (Amendment and Rescission) Order 2025 art 2.

 

[Imperium Anglorum]

Statutory Instrument
2025, No 5

Librarian Correction (Amendment and Rescission) Order 2025​

Made 13 March 2025, circa 17:50 EDT​

Coming into force immediately​

Whereas section 3 of the Government (Reform) Act 2017 grants powers to "by order alter primary legislation for clarity, grammatical correction, ease of use, and logical consistency in a non-substantive manner":

The Librarian, in exercise of inherent authority to rescind previous orders, and in exercise of the powers conferred by section 3 of the Government (Reform) Act 2017, makes the following declaration and order:

1. Upon further review, the powers granted in the Interpretation Act 2017 s 5(c) are insufficient to suspend the operation of the entirety of the Recognition (Revision) Act 2025 ("2025 Act"). The authority granted in the Interpretation Act is limited only to the scope of ensuring that an amendment coheres with the thing being enacted. This means that it targets the provisions to be amended properly. A determination of whether the amended act is itself logically coherent or not is ultra vires. Only section 3(h) of the 2025 Act fails to logically cohere with the Recognition Act 2019.
   
   
2. The first sentence of article 7 of the Librarian Correction Order 2025 is repealed. Section 3(h) of the 2025 Act is suspended. All other provisions of the 2025 Act as amended below are brought into effect.
   
   
3. In the 2025 Act,
   
   
   1. in section 3(a), after the first instance of the words "insert a section" insert "1A" and
      
      
   2. in section 3(f), after the first instance of the words "insert a section" insert "3A".
   
   
4. This order may be cited as the Librarian Correction (Amendment and Rescission) Order 2025. This order may be appealed against, by any elector, only to the European Council and only under action for an administrative injunction or declaration.
