{% 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.

Prefer to use Sections in Schedules rather than Crossheadings.

If a title appears to belong to only one numbered Section, mark it as a Section, not as a Crossheading.
