A clause, statement, or fact that is left out or not mentioned – or included and neglected, or failed to be performed.
Omitted in UK Law is a legal concept that refers to the exclusion or removal of certain provisions or sections from legislation in the United Kingdom. This omission can occur during the drafting or amendment process of a law, resulting in the removal of specific clauses or parts of a statute. The reasons for omitting certain provisions can vary, including the need for simplification, redundancy, or the desire to address the issue through alternative means. Omitted sections are typically marked in the legislation, indicating that they have been intentionally left out. It is important for legal practitioners and individuals to be aware of these omissions to ensure accurate interpretation and application of the law.
