Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Rules)

Rule 3(2) of the Rules of Procedure (Air Force) (Amendment) Rules 1987 was intended to amend rule 74(2) of the Rules of Procedure (Air Force) 1972 (S.I. 1972/419) but misdescribed that provision as rule 74(1). These Rules therefore correct that error by substituting a new rule 3(3) in the Amendment Rules. That provision now takes effect so as to substitute a new rule 74(2) (with a grammatical change), rather than adding fresh words to the paragraph as was done by the Amendment Rules previously.
