3E Parenthetical descriptions of offences in Schedules
(1) This section applies in relation to an item of a Schedule to this Act that specifies an offence or a provision that creates an offence.
(2) A parenthetical description that accompanies the item—
(a) is provided for convenience of reference only; and
(b) does not affect—
(i) what offence is specified by the item; or
(ii) the circumstances set out in relation to that offence; and
(c) must be disregarded if it is inconsistent with the provision that creates the offence.
(3) In this section, a reference to a parenthetical description that accompanies an item is a reference to a description that appears in parentheses either—
(a) in the heading of the item; or
(b) in the item itself following the reference to an offence or a provision that creates an offence.
