  • Sub-type - select "Finance Bill"

  • Title (mandatory)

The system will take you to the Editor, with the appropriate Finance Bill template loaded and pre-populated with known text.

How to create an empty Finance Resolution document (in an existing Finance Bill project)

  • Folder

  • Version description (must be unique across the whole project)

Info

Hints and tips

  • You can insert 4 types of resolution:

    • Ways and means resolution

    • PCTA resolution

    • Money resolution, and

    • Procedure resolution

  • To group subsection-like elements under an italicised heading, select "Resolution group" from the insert menu.  This works the same way that a cross heading would work - you must use "wrap" to insert it around existing provisions and to remove it you should use "unwrap"

  • By default, any user in the same organisation as the user who created the Finance Bill or Finance Resolution will have read/write access to it.

  • When you create a new project, it will automatically be set as a 'favourite' 

  • You can insert as many resolutions in a single Finance Resolution document as you like
