Article 1 provides for the citation, commencement and effect of the Order.
Article 2 introduces the amendments to Part 2 which are made by articles 3 to 13.
Article 14 introduces the amendments to Part 9 which are made by articles 15 to 17.
Articles 18 and 19 contain consequential amendments to Parts 8 and 10 respectively.

This Order does not impose any new costs on business.
