0 changes of substance, plus 3 formal. Each change below carries a one-line ✦ note from the same model. Written from the two texts only — read the highlighted passages before relying on it.
The changes to the text itself, in document order. Cover page, citations (“having regard to …”), standard resolution paragraphs and punctuation-only edits are left out — they are in “Show every difference”.
Change #1 Formal
Replaces the decimal separator in the amount from a point to a comma, aligning with European number formatting.

Change #2 Formal
