Source hierarchy
Primary text controls the legal proposition.
Binding legal claims point to the controlling law, regulation or commencement notification. Official explainers can add context but do not override the Gazette or statute.
Which exact legal proposition is being made, and which controlling record and pinpoint establish it on the stated editorial as-of date?
- Required control
- Resolve the proposition to a local source ID, inspect source type and legal status, and prefer the controlling text over summaries or press language.
- Failure mode
- A press explainer, search result or translation silently becomes the only basis for an in-force claim even though a controlling legal text is available.
- Current evidence
- The 15-record source ledger, source drawer and app-local content references.
