Reference corpus
Legislation and policy, from the bodies that publish it
Acts, regulations, statutory instruments and policy documents — taken from official publishers rather than a summary of them.
What’s in it right now
Read from each government's own publication service. Where an instrument is published in several languages, the English text is used, so one law is one document rather than twenty-four.
What you can do with it
Find the rule, not an article about it
Search the actual instrument, and land on the section that answers the question.
Track what changed
New and amended instruments as they are published, with the date they were made.
Compare across borders
The same question asked of UK, US and EU material in a single search.
Cite with confidence
Every document carries its official reference and links back to the publisher.
Where it’s used
Legal
The legal workspace, on the roadmap, will read legislation beside case law and your own contracts, so an obligation can be traced from clause to statute.
Legislation is one of several reference collections in the wider askFinz index — see the full collection breakdown for what else is indexed alongside it.
