Corrected a typographical error in the Explanatory Note of a previous Employment Rights Act commencement order.
This instrument amends the Explanatory Note of the Employment Rights Act 2025 (Commencement No. 2 and Transitional and Saving Provisions) Regulations 2026 to correct a grammatical error.
It substitutes the word 'brings' for 'bring' in the fourth paragraph of the note.
The document applies to the King's Printer and those responsible for the publication and maintenance of UK statutory instruments.
Arguments For
The document corrects a typographical error in the Explanatory Note of a previous statutory instrument.
The correction ensures the text uses the grammatically correct third-person singular verb form 'brings' instead of 'bring' when referring to the instrument's action.
Proponents would argue such corrections maintain the technical accuracy and clarity of legislative records.
Arguments Against
Legal practitioners might note that Explanatory Notes do not form part of the law itself, making the practical legal impact of this correction negligible.
It could be argued that issuing a separate instrument solely for a single-letter grammatical correction in a non-binding note involves a disproportionate use of administrative resources.
CORRECTION
Page 9, Explanatory Note, fourth paragraph: 'bring into force on' should read 'brings into force on'.
This provision directs a specific textual change to the Explanatory Note of the original 2026 Regulations.
It changes the verb 'bring' to 'brings' to correct the grammar in a sentence describing when certain provisions take effect.
This correction ensures the published documentation accurately reflects the intended descriptive text.
