TOPIC COLLECTION · 8 GUIDES
Jurisdiction and scope
Avoid treating evidence from one country as a worldwide conclusion.
Great Britain versus a global brand
A notice concerning a Great Britain service should retain that scope when summarised.
Reading an Australian enforcement record
An Australian enforcement record should be read for the entity, service, conduct and date it specifies.
International readers and local rules
An English-language article can be read around the world, but the sources behind it may be local.
Residence, location and source scope
Different documents may refer to residence, physical location or the territory in which a service is regulated.
Why there is no universal licence badge
A single badge cannot communicate all the entity, activity, territory and timing questions relevant to licensing research.
Comparing jurisdictions without ranking them
A useful comparison explains what each source covers and where the information differs.
Checking the age of jurisdiction guidance
Guidance can become outdated even when the webpage remains accessible.
