Notes

  • The entry for section 58 does not apply to an instrument containing an order merely revoking an order under subsection (1) of that section.

  • The entry for section 79, in relation to an instrument containing an order which makes only such provision as is mentioned in section 79(3), is to be read as referring to type K instead of type E.
