Jurisdiction and scope · QUICK REFERENCE
International readers and local rules
An English-language article can be read around the world, but the sources behind it may be local. Look for explicit scope notes and avoid assuming that a process described for one country applies to your situation. A good guide makes that boundary visible.
A practical checklist
- Identify the source's jurisdiction.
- Check whether the guide makes a local or general claim.
- Find the relevant authority for your own question.
Putting it in context
A complaint procedure discussed using a British source may be a useful example of documentation. Its deadlines or eligibility conditions should not be exported to other countries without evidence.
Keep in mind
