No contradiction: when summer time ends, 2am occurs twice, the web page is just not bothering to be clear about which one of those is the one that ends summer time. The legislation is.
Yep, it seems like the bill is explicit, and doesn't match what's in 2008g. Perhaps the following? # THE TIME BILL (No. XXVII of 2008) Explanatory Memorandum states the # beginning / ending of summer time is 2 o'clock standard time in the # morning of the last Sunday of October / last Sunday of March. # <a href="http://www.gov.mu/portal/goc/assemblysite/file/bill2708.pdf"> # http://www.gov.mu/portal/goc/assemblysite/file/bill2708.pdf # </a> $ diff -u3 africa.2008g africa --- africa.2008g Tue Oct 7 14:35:26 2008 +++ africa Tue Oct 7 14:41:23 2008 @@ -453,11 +453,18 @@ # year 2008 - 2009 will, therefore, be effective as from 26 October 2008 # and end on 29 March 2009. # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S Rule Mauritius 1982 only - Oct 10 0:00 1:00 S Rule Mauritius 1983 only - Mar 21 0:00 0 - -Rule Mauritius 2008 max - Oct lastSun 2:00 1:00 S -Rule Mauritius 2009 max - Mar lastSun 2:00 0 - +Rule Mauritius 2008 max - Oct lastSun 2:00s 1:00 S +Rule Mauritius 2009 max - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 - # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Indian/Mauritius 3:50:00 - LMT 1907 # Port Louis 4:00 Mauritius MU%sT # Mauritius Time -Ed
