Identify provision type: How do I identify whether the provision is a sub-section or a clause?

Identify provision type


Identify provision type

In legal documents such as acts, regulations, and contracts, provisions usually number and may divide into subsections, clauses, and sub-clauses. Identify provision type

To distinguish between a provision that is a sub-section or a clause, one can refer to the numbering system used in the document.

For example, A provision numbered as 1.1 is a sub-section of section 1, while a provision numbered as 1.1.1 is a sub-clause of sub-section 1.1.

Typically, sub-sections are numbered using a single digit followed by a period, such as 1., 2., 3., and so on. Clauses are usually numbered using two digits separated by a period, such as 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and so on. Sub-clauses may be numbered using three digits separated by periods, such as 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, and so on.

In general, the higher the number of digits used in the numbering system, the more specific and detailed the provision is. However, the exact numbering system used may vary depending on the document and the author. Therefore, it is important to carefully review the document’s structure and numbering system to identify sub-sections and clauses.
