the substitution of other legislation
English
Law/Patents
Insurance
Pls see Explanation/ Context
Context:
PROVIDED ALWAYS that in the event of any change in the Law(s) or the substitution of other legislation, this policy shall remain in force but the liability of the Company shall be limited to...
I assume I have to understand it as if it read 'in the event of' the substitution of other legislation.
This is part of the preamble of an insurance policy. The "Law(s)" should be certain laws set out in the policy schedule, which I do not have.
I would appreciate it if you could kindly told me what you think "the substitution of other legislation" is referring to, as it stands now in the sentence.
What may that "other legislation"be? Other legislation dealing with the same matter (as the Laws)?
And does substitution here mean the (complete) replacement of an Act by another?
Many thanks in advance for your help!

It's possible that "other" could also refer to legislation already in place but not used for insurance purposes at the moment.
They are basically just covering all eventualities as is typical in contracts.

changes in other applicable laws
seems like it
the Law(s) is capitalised, so probably it's a term

: No, that is the first part ( in the event of any change in the Law(s)); this is referrring to new laws replacing (SUBSTITUTING for) current laws, which is something else

well, you might be right; but substitution is also a change, taken broadly // ok, but Law(s) is capitalised, which means it's a term, most likely the industry regulation, while legislation is not, most likely referring to all other applicable laws

: sorry to disagree but "substitution" doesn't mean "change"//"change" means amending existing legislation. Here, legislation is being replaced

no prob) in the narrow sense, no; but if you repeal one law and put another (regulating the same field) into its place, aren't you changing the legislation?

: I agree. While "change in the Law(s)" is like "subsequent amendments to the Laws that have been defined", this one is like "subsequent amendments to other laws, which have not been defined".
