Jurisdiction and scope · QUICK REFERENCE
Checking the age of jurisdiction guidance
Guidance can become outdated even when the webpage remains accessible. Record the publication or revision date, check for replacement notices and avoid converting a historical explanation into a current rule. Where current status cannot be established, say so directly.
A practical checklist
- Look for revision and archive notices.
- Check links to successor guidance.
- Separate old examples from current claims.
Putting it in context
A page explaining a previous procedure may remain online for reference. Its availability alone does not mean that the same procedure is still in effect.
Keep in mind
A current legal conclusion may require qualified advice beyond a webpage review.
