The person whose relatives are to be reckoned is the reference person in the centre of the statutory table. The Schedule is intended to illustrate the computation of degrees of kindred under section 28.
Formatting note: The statutory Schedule is presented as a diagram in the official text. This HTML version converts that diagram into a searchable table without changing the relationship labels.
