Correction Slip

Published: Tue 14th Apr 26

This statutory instrument correction notice amends The Lyme Regis, Bridport (West Bay) and Weymouth Harbour Revision Order 2026 by correcting two specific typographical errors identified on pages 10 and 28 of the original document, ensuring that the roles of 'principle' and 'principal' are correctly stated, and correcting a place name reference from 'Reis' to 'Regis'.

Arguments For

  • Ensuring legal accuracy by correcting transcription errors in the published statutory instrument.

  • Maintaining clarity and precision in the legal documentation governing the specified harbours (Lyme Regis, Bridport (West Bay), and Weymouth).

  • Upholding the integrity of the statute book by rectifying minor, yet potentially significant, textual mistakes before further implementation or interpretation.

Arguments Against

  • The correction process itself suggests a lack of rigorous initial proofreading of important statutory instruments.

  • The corrections are minor typographical errors, implying that the core substance of the Harbour Revision Order remains the primary focus, potentially overshadowing the need for such detailed error spotting for non-substantive changes.

  • The need to issue a formal correction note adds minor administrative overhead to the legal publication system.
