DATES

(Version anglaise seulement)

This article deals with an issue related exclusively to the drafting of the English version of legislative texts. The very nature of the article causes it to be available in English only.

The current practice is to write "April 30, 1999" rather than "the 30th day of April, 1999" or "April the 30th, 1999".

As a rule, "after March 31 of each year" is preferable to "after March 31st of each year".
