Keep code-wide amount changes beside the articles

Changes that multiply sums across a code now have links to provisions containing those amounts.

The reader’s problem

Not every amendment names one article and supplies replacement wording.

What changed

A text can change monetary amounts throughout a code. The October graph update connected that kind of measure to articles containing the affected sums, so a reader would have a route to the later legislation beside the earlier provision.

Using the feature

This work covered code-wide changes in civil procedure and traffic legislation. Its purpose is to make a relevant amending text visible when the original article alone could leave a reader with an outdated figure. Open the linked measure and check its scope, dates and exceptions.

Reading the evidence

A recorded relationship does not calculate every amount that applies to a particular dispute. Effective dates and the circumstances of the case can matter. Keep the amending text with any quoted figure, and distinguish a source's original amount from a later rule changing how that amount must be read.
