(This note is not part of the Order)
Article 3(3) of the Standing Civilian Courts (Amendment) Order 1987 was intended to substitute fresh provision for article 49(2)(a)(ii) of the Standing Civilian Courts Order 1977 (S.I. 1977/88) but misdescribed that provision as article 49(ii) and omitted a comma from the text. This Order therefore corrects those errors by substituting a new article 3(3) in the Amendment Order.
1976 c. 52; paragraph 12 of Schedule 3 was amended by the Armed Forces Act 1986 (c. 21), section 9(3).
S.I. 1987/2001.
