His role in this resource
The publisher reported Andy’s approval of the existing 69 guides and 42 case explanations on November 4, 2026. That is the date approval was recorded; the original review date was not supplied.
Approval covers the explanations that were on the site at that time. A change to a legal explanation requires new approval before release. The site does not claim that a commercial case-law checking service was used.
