legal_verify_citationsCheck the South African case citations and Acts in a piece of text against GetLawED's library of official copies and verified records.No findings
Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
Description, as the server wrote it Check the South African case citations and Acts in a piece of text against GetLawED's library of official copies and verified records. Each item comes back as found, mismatch (the citation belongs to a different case), name_only, not_found, repealed or unchecked. "not_found"/"unchecked" means "check the law reports", not "fake".
