The word 'usually' does provide an escape, keeping this low severity.","confidence":0.45,"description":"The instrument states legislation is 'usually updated within 3 working days after a change', yet if this order has genuinely remained unamended since 24 December 2024 through to at least 5 April 2026 (over 15 months), the update policy statement is rendered meaningless boilerplate with no operative relevance to this specific instrument."},{"type":"impossible_compliance","section":"Entire instrument","severity":"high","reasoning":"A statutory instrument titled 'Housing Land Supply (Penguin) Order 2024' would ordinarily contain provisions identifying the land subject to the order, the planning or supply mechanisms engaged, relevant definitions, and operative directions. None of these appear in the text. If the document as published is the complete instrument, it is impossible for any person, council, or authority to comply with or give effect to it. This may reflect a publication error rather than a drafting flaw, but as presented the instrument is logically inoperable.","confidence":0.8,"description":"The substantive operative provisions of the Order are entirely absent from the text provided.

The 'last modified' metadata simultaneously asserts the file has not changed since December 2024.
