Every source we rely on

No solicitor has reviewed this site. Attribution is what we offer instead: every claim traces to a named provision, with the supporting text quoted so you can check us without taking our word for anything.

A script re-fetches each of these from its primary source — legislation.gov.uk for most, the rest from the other hosts named below — and confirms the quoted words are still there. It catches both a quote we transcribed wrongly and a provision that has since been amended.

279 authorities in this registry: 201 cited by a published claim (a page or a tool), 78 fetched and verified but not currently cited by anything — kept rather than deleted because they are correct, not because they are wrong.
