Annotated Statutes also provide you with the most authoritative and up-to-date guidance on existing law as it develops through new legislation and judicial interpretation.

Within two weeks of Royal Assent our team of 40 lawyers, led by Barrister and Parliamentary Counsel Daniel Greenberg, will explain the effect, purpose and likely application of new law.

We will be adding annotations to more pre-2007 annotations on an ongoing basis.
