Quote:7. Separation of Powers

(1) Offices of the Coalition are the Delegate, the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers, the Chair of the Assembly, Local Councillors, the Permanent Justice, and any of their appointed deputies.

Would changing it to 'Chief Justice' require an amendment or would it (as I presume) fall under the 'typographical errors, grammatical errors, or formatting inconsistencies at any time' as stated in the Legislative Procedure Act?  

I believe not, as it is neither a typographical error, nor a grammatical error, nor an inconsistency in formatting. To clarify:

Quote:(4) The Chair may correct typographical errors, grammatical errors, or formatting inconsistencies at any time, as long as these corrections do not alter the original intent of the law, following a three day period in which the corrections are presented to the assembly for comments. Any such corrections must be recorded with the legislative history of each law.
