{% hint style="info" %}
The document should end with the last Schedule to the main Act, or with the last section of the main Act if it has no Schedules.

## Use Sections in Schedules

Prefer to use Sections in Schedules rather than Crossheadings.

{% hint style="info" %}
If a title appears to belong to only one numbered Section, mark it as a Section, not as a Crossheading.
