Parliament of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago

Issues the instrument

The legislature's own site, publishing every Bill and every Act as printed in the Legal Supplement Part A to the Gazette, with the assent date, the Act number, the commencement section and the dates of passage in each House on the face of the document. Files sit under a WordPress uploads path named a<year>-<number>.pdf, sometimes with a g suffix where the Gazette imprint is included. Act No. 9 of 2022 and the Law Revision (Amendment) Act, 2026 were read here.

An instrument published here takes legal effect on publication. This is where the law becomes the law.

Cannot be cited for

It publishes instruments as enacted and does not consolidate, so an Act read here is the amending Act and its section numbering is its own rather than that of the law that results. It must never be cited for the current state of a provision. It says nothing about whether an Act whose commencement is left to Proclamation has been proclaimed - for that the Legal Notices are the record - and an Act on this site is therefore not evidence that any of it is in force. The upload directory in the path bears no relation to the date of the Act, so a document cannot be found by constructing its address from the Act number and year.
