Powers contained in this Act Power to update
This Act establishes a power to update. This power enables UK Ministers and devolved authorities to amend ‘any secondary REUL’ or ‘secondary assimilated law’ (i.e. including the codification of retained case law), as well as regulations made under the powers to restate and powers to revoke or replace under sections 11, 12 and 14 in this Act, to take account of changes in technology or developments in scientific understanding.
	The power is not intended to make significant policy changes, but is only intended to make relevant technical updates to REUL for these specific purposes. The power is designed so that it can be used more than once on the same piece of legislation as advances in science and technology take place over time.
