The Legislation (Republication) Act 1996, part 3, division 2 authorised the Parliamentary Counsel to make editorial amendments and other changes of a formal nature when preparing a law for republication.

(3) 	Where there are several plaintiffs not all of whom are represented by the same legal practitioner or there are several defendants not all of whom are represented by the same legal practitioner, subsection (2) applies as if the words ‘so many persons as a judge directs’ were substituted for the words ‘12 of the persons’.

(6) 	Where a defendant does not appear in person or by a legal practitioner, the proper officer may, on the defendant’s behalf, strike 4 names off the list.
(7) 	After the names are struck off under this section, if not more than 4 names remain on the list, the persons whose names so remain or, if more than 4 names then remain on the list, the persons whose names are the first 4 names so remaining shall enter the jury box and, upon being sworn, shall be the jury for the trial.
(8) 	The card bearing the name of a person who has been called but not sworn shall, upon the jury being sworn, be returned to the ballot box.
(9) 	When the verdict of the jury has been given and recorded or the jury has been discharged, whichever first happens, the jury cards bearing the names of the jurors shall, unless the court otherwise orders, be returned to the ballot box.

	An omission, irregularity or error by the sheriff or any of his or her officers with respect to the time or mode of service of a summons on a person in pursuance of a jury precept, or the summoning or return of such a person by a wrong name (if there is no question of identity) is not a cause of challenge.
