  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order makes consequential amendments to subordinate legislation which provided for appeals to the House of Lords, replacing references to the House of Lords with references to the Supreme Court. The Constitutional Reform Act 2005 abolished the appellate jurisdiction of the House of Lords and created the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. The Order is made under section 143 of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 (c.4).\nAn impact assessment has not been prepared for this Order since it simply substitutes reference to the Supreme Court to take account of the now-defunct appellate jurisdiction of the House of Lords. A regulatory impact assessment was prepared for the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 in relation to the Supreme Court and is available on the Ministry of Justice website using the following link http://www.dca.gov.uk/risk/constrefria.htm.",
