Before you rely on a provision

Read the official source's version history and any amendment or commencement notes. A reference check confirms the link and identification of the resource; it does not certify that every provision is current, in force or applicable to your circumstances.

LegalBench links to the source rather than republishing the full legal text. Translations, commentary and historical versions may have a different status from the authoritative text.
