It shows how laws get updated piece by piece over time. However, for actual legal purposes, you would now look at the current version of the Local Government Act 1993 rather than this 2002 order, since the amendment has been \"incorporated\" (absorbed) into that Act."},"issue_detection":{"absurdities":[],"contradictions":[]},"summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"No scope change can be identified from the available text.
