This amendment is housekeeping—it removes a specific definition that was previously included in the gallstones SOP, likely because it became redundant or was relocated elsewhere. It does not change the underlying rules about who qualifies for benefits, but streamlines the technical medical criteria."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-cholelithiasis-no-10-of-2002","history":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-cholelithiasis-no-10-of-2002/history","analysis":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-cholelithiasis-no-10-of-2002/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-cholelithiasis-no-10-of-2002/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-cholelithiasis-no-10-of-2002/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-cholelithiasis-no-10-of-2002/documents"}}
