Notes on use

  • Statutory text on each section page is verbatim. Where a text is unclear, it is flagged [VERIFY AGAINST PDF] with the page reference.
  • Each page records its source (raw PDF + page numbers) and verification status in the frontmatter.
  • This is a working reference — not a substitute for the bare Act, the Rules, or professional judgment.
