This creates an impossible compliance situation where the reader cannot determine with certainty whether they are reading the operative law.","confidence":0.72,"description":"The statement that 'Legislation on this site is usually updated within 3 working days after a change to the legislation' introduces a non-binding qualifier ('usually') into what purports to be an authoritative legal repository.
