Butterworth's Annotated Legislation Service Explained

Butterworth's Annotated Legislation Service, formerly known as Butterworth's Emergency Legislation Service,^[1] contains annotated copies of certain Acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It is published by Butterworths.

In 1982, Glanville Williams said that the Annotated Legislation Service was "useful" at the first appearance of an Act. It was not, however, regularly kept up to date by reissues or supplements. Williams said this was a "defect".^[2]

It has been said that "many" volumes of this work cover a single Act and have "very detailed" annotations.^[3]

Publication of this work began in 1939.^[4]
