Need to remove Note: from the start of a string using XSLT - xslt

Question

I have been tasked with styling XML and so far nearly all of the tags I have been given are either p or ph which just display the contents of the tag on screen and I can style as required
eg:
<p outputclass="LC AStatProv">Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003 of 27 November 2003 Concerning Jurisdiction and the Recognition and Enforcement of Judgments in Matrimonial Matters and in Matters of Parental Responsibility, repealing Regulation (EC) No 1347/2000 (Brussels II Revised) (2003) OJ L 338/1, Art 20</p>
will display as:
Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003 of 27 November 2003 Concerning Jurisdiction and the Recognition and Enforcement of Judgments in Matrimonial Matters and in Matters of Parental Responsibility, repealing Regulation (EC) No 1347/2000 (Brussels II Revised) (2003) OJ L 338/1, Art 20
Today I have noticed that a new note tag has been used and this is causing "Note: " to be prepended to the beginning of each string eg:
<p outputclass="LC ACourt"><note outputclass="CaseSearchCourt">Court of Appeal</note></p>
will display as:
Note: Re A (Abduction: Interim Directions: Accommodation by Local Authority) [2010] EWCA Civ 586 [2011] 1 FLR 1
The FO produced for this is:
<fo:block><fo:inline font-weight="bold" border-right-width="0pt" border-left-width="0pt">Note: </fo:inline> Court of Appeal</fo:block>
I have tried the following code gleaned from elsewhere on this site but it didn't remove the string I wanted:
<xsl:template match="note">
<note>
<xsl:if test="contains(., 'Note:')">
<xsl:call-template name="remove">
<xsl:with-param name="value" select="."/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</note>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="remove">
<xsl:param name="value"/>
<xsl:value-of select="concat(substring-before($value, 'Note:'), substring-after($value, 'Note:'))"/>
</xsl:template>
I have tried to see where XSLT gets the "Note: " from but can't find it anywhere so my next thought is to try and pattern match the string and remove "Note: " from the beginning of the string. Is this a good way to go about this and how would I do this?
thanks.
EDIT: Just to summarise my rambling and confusing question.
Where it renders:
Note: Re A (Abduction: Interim Directions: Accommodation by Local Authority) [2010] EWCA Civ 586 [2011] 1 FLR 1
I just want it to render:
Re A (Abduction: Interim Directions: Accommodation by Local Authority) [2010] EWCA Civ 586 [2011] 1 FLR 1
EDIT 2 and the answer
My initial investigations were based upon grepping for Note: which wasn't being found. I have though found the following:
<xsl:template match="*[contains(#class,' topic/note ')]">
and then commented out the following lines:
<!--<xsl:text>Note</xsl:text>-->
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<!--<xsl:text>: </xsl:text>-->
</fo:inline>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
And I have got rid of the "Note: ".
EDIT 3:
This didn't actually work as it created an opening block but didn't close it so I ended up removing the entire <xsl:template match="*[contains(#class,' topic/note ')]"> as we have no need for any type of notes in our system
