Guideline 25
A reference to another Act can be either dynamic or static, depending on the legal tradition or the particular circumstances, but the reader must be able to identify whether it is dynamic or static.
| 25.1. | A dynamic reference refers to a provision in itself, rather than to a specific version of that provision. To determine the content of the provision referred to at a certain time, the reader must consider all amendments of that provision up to that time. | |
| 25.2. | A static reference refers to a provision as it stands on a specific date and should expressly indicate the version being referred to. This is usually done by specifying that the version being referred to is the original version of the provision, or the version resulting from a particular amendment, so that subsequent amendments are not to be considered. | |
| 25.3. | A reference to another Act can be either dynamic or static, depending on the legal tradition or the particular circumstance, but the reader must be able to identify whether it is dynamic or static. For many legal traditions, a reference to an Act of the same legal system is presumed to be dynamic unless the contrary is indicated. In some legal traditions, however, this presumption does not hold. | |
