This amendment to rule 26.2A is to Part 26 as in force at 14 August 2023. Part 26 is, on 1 October 2023, replaced by the new Part 26 in Schedule 1 to S.I. 2023/572, and so the amendment in paragraph (3) of this rule makes a corresponding change to the corresponding rule (rule 26.3) in that new Part 26.
