Supplementary

Section 20: Correction of orders

88.This section allows the Secretary of State to rectify a mistake in an order under Chapter 1, e.g. a restructuring or boundary change order or an order containing incidental or consequential provision, where he is satisfied that there is a mistake in the order which can not be rectified by a subsequent order by virtue of section 14 of the Interpretation Act 1978. This relates to orders which may not otherwise be capable of amendment as their provisions may be spent soon after commencement.

89.Subsection (2) sets out that a “mistake” includes a provision contained in or omitted from the order in reliance on inaccurate or incomplete information supplied by any public body.

90.Subsection (3) provides that a public body as referred to in subsection (2) includes a parish council.
