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.
Sheriff courts, Simple Procedure and the Housing and Property Chamber are Scottish routes and should not be replaced with England-and-Wales court terminology.
JEZ AI should use the selected system before researching law or procedure.
Source-led topics
This hub links only guides with enough jurisdiction-specific official material to meet the current publishing bar.
These are the procedural signals JEZ AI should recognise before it starts suggesting a route for a user in Scotland.
