Published update context
Read the release, review and edition history for material changes to the encoded rule sets.
Professional workflow
Review rule changes affecting saved matters
Professional can help identify saved matters that should be reviewed after a published rule update. It does not decide whether the update changes the legal position, so the current source, order and facts must still be checked.

What this gives you
A practical next step after the calculation
Professional can surface saved matters for review when a published rule change falls within the saved calculation scope, while retaining the earlier calculation record.
Matter review signal
Use the saved calculation scope to identify matters that may need a human review after a relevant published update.
Earlier record retained
Keep the previous calculation record available while the current rule position is checked.
Source-led correction route
Use the published methodology and correction route if a source change or potential issue needs to be raised.
Clear workflow
Check first. Then choose the right record or workflow.
The paid options follow a completed calculation. They do not replace the check that comes before a date enters a matter or diary.
- 1
Read the published update
Check what was released, reviewed or amended and the date from which it applies.
- 2
Review affected matters
Use the matter signal as a prompt to check the current source and factual position for each saved date.
- 3
Approve the next action
Record the outcome in the matter and update the primary diary only after professional review.
Important boundary
A rule-change signal is not a legal conclusion
A change signal does not confirm that a rule amendment applies to a particular proceeding, that it changes a deadline, or that a saved date remains correct. Treat it as a prompt for review, not an answer.

Where can I see published rule updates?
The public rule updates page lists material coverage launches, verification passes, rule editions and reviews. The methodology page explains how rules are sourced and reviewed.
