Editorial Standards

Website articles provide general information, not advice for a specific matter. Laws and procedures vary by jurisdiction and change over time. Readers should check the relevant official source and obtain legal advice where a decision, deadline or personal risk is involved.

For legal propositions we prefer current legislation, courts, tribunals, government departments and public legal-assistance bodies. High-priority pages show an official-source panel with the jurisdiction and date on which those links were checked. A source-link check is not a new solicitor review.

Where a page carries a recorded legal-review attribution, it is displayed separately from the source-check status. We do not present customer reviews as legal review and we do not treat an automated or editorial source check as solicitor approval.

We use a publication or review date only when it is supported by the content record. A build date or sitemap date is not presented as a legal-review date. Material updates should identify the current official sources and remove unsupported outcome, deadline or success-rate claims.

If you find an error, use our corrections process. Reports are assessed against primary sources and corrected without silently inventing a new legal-review date.
