406: Effect of amendments to, or replacement of, material incorporated by reference
or “Changes to included materials only count if they're official and similar, and if the government says so.”
You could also call this:

“Explains how to prove that outside information is officially part of a rule”

When information is included in a legal document by reference, you need to have proof that it’s the correct information. To do this, the Minister or the chief executive must make an official copy of the information. They need to confirm that it’s correct and keep it safe.

If there’s ever a question about whether the information was really included in the legal document, showing this official copy in court is usually enough to prove it. This is true unless someone can show evidence that the copy isn’t correct.

This rule applies to any information that’s included by reference, even if it’s been changed or replaced since it was first included.
