Explanatory Note for Table of Concordance RS2015 to Pre-RS2015
This Table of Concordance was compiled during the revision drafting process and the resulting data were used to prepare the Table as an unofficial guide for users of B.C. Statutes. While every effort was made to achieve accuracy, only the statutes are authoritative. Legal opinion should be sought if interpretation is required.
This Table was based on the table of contents for the RS2015 Act. The left column lists each section of that Act as a separate row. The right column of that row indicates the source provision of the pre-RS2015 Act, as that Act read at the time the revision was delivered for consideration by Select Standing Committee of the Legislative Assembly.
If a pre-RS2015 section was revised into more than one RS2015 section, the right column will indicate this separation with “[pt]”.
See the “Table of Concordance Pre-RS2015 to RS2015” to this Act to identify a specific source section in the pre-RS2015 Act with its revised section in the RS2015 Act.
