Applying Amendments

Example of Loi with Amendments and several points in time: Loi Portant Code de la Nationalité Ivoirienne, 1961 https://edit.laws.africa/works/akn/ci/act/1961/415/

The word (nouveau) is added in brackets to the article after the number to indicate that an entire article was substituted.

The annotation is placed below the article number and above the text.

View mode ↓

Edit mode ↓

When an article is amended or substituted, use the words modifié par

Where an article is repealed, use the words abrogé par

Where an article is added or inserted, use the words ajouté par

Where a new bis provision is inserted or added, do not add the word (nouveau) after bis in the Article heading. eg:

Note: where an existing article (nouveau) is substituted, do not add the word (nouveau) in the annotation. eg:

Where an article is amended, or substituted several times, join the annotations together into a consolidated annotation. Always check if there is an existing annotation from the consolidation before applying the amendment; if one exists include it at the beginning of the annotation: in example below the part in yellow is the previous annotation which appeared in the consolidation and we use the verb modifié; the part in green is where the editor has applied the amendment with the newly substituted article and we use the verb remplacé

Example of annotation with multiple amendments applied:

Edit mode ↓

When an entire Title (Titre) is repealed which includes Chapters, Sections and Articles, remove these from the work, leave in the Title heading and put one consolidated annotation under the Title. Do not use *** for repealed provisions. eg. See Titre VI in this work https://edit.laws.africa/documents/19529

When there are no Titles (Titres) and an entire Chapter (Chapitre) is repealed which includes Sections and Articles, remove these from the work, leave in the Chapter heading and put one consolidated annotation under the Chapter. Do not use *** for repealed provisions.

eg. See Chapters 2 -5 in this work https://edit.laws.africa/documents/19721
