Finin2min Q&A
Should every old reference in a contract or order be replaced?
No. Preserve the historical document. Add a current-law cross-reference and record whether the underlying right, duty or proceeding is saved.
Does the successor Code decide the applicable State procedure?
Not by itself. Determine the appropriate Government and read the final State Rules, notifications, authority appointments and portal instructions.
