Subjects, extents (territorial suffix) and subsubjects in the preface can be easily updated through a dialogue box giving you the option to select from the approved list from the SI Registrar.
How to insert Subject, extend and subsubject
Click on the blue placeholder “SUBJECT”.
The system will open a dialogue box.
To add a new subject, click on the Add Subject button.
Select a subject from the drop-down list - you can type in the first few characters to find subject more easily.
Select an Extent if applicable.
If the subject you need is not listed, you can create one by typing it into the Subject box in the dialogue box.
However, a 'custom' subject must be approved through the usual process with the SI Registrar.
‘Extent’ is here used to mean territorial applicability and as such may refer to any or a combination of the four geographical parts of the UK. This is not the same as the technical meaning of ‘extent’, i.e., the jurisdictions in which the legislation is the law.
If there is a subsubject you want to add, click on the Add button under the label “Subsubject”.
Select a subsubject from the drop-down list.
Repeat if you wish to add more subsubjects.
When you have added your Subject, click Add button.
If you want to add another subject, click Add Subject again.
When you have finished adding/updating subject information, click on Add.
Lawmaker will update the Preface with your specified Subject data.
