With the amendments we hold worked into the text. Where one could not be placed, the section says so. 41 repealed Acts are kept and marked, because older judgments apply them.
The Constitution
Parliament's revised edition, brought up to the 22nd Amendment of 25 September 2026.
Court rules
16 sets of Supreme Court and Court of Appeal rules and guides, beside the Acts.
