Corrections Policy

Accuracy is the foundation of a useful legal reference. When we get something wrong, we want to know about it and fix it promptly.

How to Report an Error

Please include:

• The URL of the page containing the error

• The specific text or statement you believe to be incorrect

• The correction you believe to be accurate

• A primary source supporting the correction

Correction Process

1. 1

   Receipt and logging

   Every correction report is logged on receipt with an internal reference.

2. 2

   Independent verification

   A member of the editorial team checks the report against primary sources.

3. 3

   Correction or rejection

   If the report is substantiated, we correct the content. If not, we may update the content to acknowledge the alternative view.

4. 4

   Notification

   We notify the reporter of the outcome by email if a contact address was provided.

5. 5

   Publication update

   Corrected pages are updated and the last-reviewed date is refreshed.

Acknowledgement Timeline

We aim to acknowledge all correction reports within five working days of receipt. Straightforward factual corrections are typically resolved within five working days. Complex legal corrections may take up to ten working days; we will inform the reporter if so.

Significant Correction Archive

Where we have published a materially incorrect statement of the law, transparency requires more than a quiet edit. Significant corrections — those that misstated the legal effect of a provision, applied the wrong rule, or described superseded law — are noted on the affected page and archived here.
