26Effect of modification orders on requirements to tell people of their rights

While a person’s rights, available remedies or courses of action, or legal situation under an enactment are affected by the effect of a modification order, a requirement in any enactment (whether that enactment or another) to the effect that a person must be told of those rights, those remedies or courses of action, or that situation, must be read as a requirement that he or she must be told of those rights, those remedies or courses of action, or that situation, as modified by the effect of the order.
