Data sources and what "verified" means
Sources
Official copies only: judgments as published by the courts; Acts from gov.za and the Government Printer; regulations, rules and codes from the Government Gazette and regulators (SARS, FSCA, FIC, NCR, Department of Labour and others); municipal by-laws and land use schemes from municipalities and provincial gazettes; Bills from Parliament. Each result links to its official source; legislation carries its gazette reference. The library is updated nightly.
What "verified" means
- The text was taken from, and checked against, the official copy linked with it.
- Legislation is shown as published. Later amendments may not be applied — where our amendment records know of amending Acts, the law pages say so.
- Absence from the library does not mean an authority does not exist.
- Results support legal professionals; they are not legal advice. You remain responsible for what you rely on, including in court.
