If the Amendment Order itself has been amended (as implied by the 5 July 2017 modification date and the Table of Amending Instruments), this raises the question of whether you are amending an amendment, which creates a layered and potentially circular legislative effect that is unusual and could create interpretive confusion about which version of the amendment actually governs.","confidence":0.45,"description":"The legislation states it is 'current from 1 July 2013 to date' while simultaneously stating the 'File last modified 5 July 2017'. An Amendment Order that is itself amended is potentially no longer a pure Amendment Order but a hybrid instrument, yet it continues to be presented as the original 2013 Order."},{"type":"other","section":"Status Information - Currency of version","severity":"low","reasoning":"The 3-working-day update promise is rendered practically unverifiable by a user relying on the last-modified date. If the last-modified date reflects publishing infrastructure rather than substantive legislative change, the metadata is misleading. If it genuinely reflects no changes since 2017, the ongoing 'to date' currency claim is fine but the update promise is irrelevant window dressing.","confidence":0.35,"description":"The document states legislation is 'usually updated within 3 working days after a change to the legislation' yet the file was last modified on 5 July 2017, nearly a decade before the access date of 5 April 2026. This creates an implicit representation that no changes have occurred in approximately 9 years, which may or may not be accurate but cannot be verified from the instrument itself."}],"contradictions":[{"severity":"low","section_a":"Status Information - Table of Amending Instruments","section_b":"Status Information - Authorisation (File last modified 5 July 2017)","confidence":0.42,"description":"The existence of a Table of Amending Instruments implies this Amendment Order has itself been amended, yet the instrument's title and framing present it as a singular 2013 Amendment Order.
