Rule 2
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order in Council makes Rules revoking the previous Rules made in 1988. It prescribes the form of words to be used in certain writs of summons, Commissions of the Peace, Letters Patent and Royal Assent Commissions. It also provides for the publication of Royal Proclamations. The present Rules differ from the Rules made in 1988 in two respects. First, they permit appropriate modifications to be made to the prescribed wording of various documents under the Great Seal where that wording is not apt to cover the circumstances of any particular case. Secondly, they amend the prescribed forms of words to be used in the Commissions signifying Royal Assent to allow for the situation where an Act has been passed in accordance with the Parliament Acts 1911 and 1949.
For islands areas in Scotland this form of words shall be altered by substituting for any reference to a district a reference to the islands area.
