HOW THIS INFORMATION WAS PREPARED

Jurisdiction first. Official sources first.

GetInstantLaw uses jurisdiction-specific government, court, regulator and primary-law sources first, with JEZ AI used to organise that legal information in plain English. Important facts, eligibility rules and deadlines should be checked against the cited authority before you act.

No lawyer review is implied unless a page expressly identifies a genuine qualified reviewer. Read our Source Standards, Editorial Standards and Corrections Policy.

Why the legal system matters

NI uses its own Small Claims Court, Labour Relations Agency and Industrial Tribunals rather than importing Great Britain procedures such as Acas by default.

JEZ AI should use the selected system before researching law or procedure.
