    (1)     A footnote, endnote, or other note, in or to an Act or statutory instrument is not part of the Act or instrument.

    (2)     A table of contents (however described), or reader's guide or index, in or to an Act or statutory instrument is not part of the Act or instrument.

    (3)     A heading to a section or subsection of an Act or statutory instrument is not part of the Act or instrument if section 126 (2) does not apply to the heading.

    (4)     This section does not prevent the amendment of a note, table, guide, index or heading mentioned in subsection (1), (2) or (3).

    (5)     However, such a note, table, guide or index does not become part of the Act or statutory instrument because it is amended or inserted by an Act or instrument.

    (6)     In applying this section to an Act or statutory instrument that is divided otherwise than into sections, a reference to a section or subsection is a reference to a corresponding provision of the Act or instrument.

Note     A reference to an Act or statutory instrument includes a reference to a provision of the Act or instrument (see s 7 and s 13).

    (7)     This section is a determinative provision.

Note     See s 5 for the meaning of determinative provisions, and s 6 for their displacement.
