Good to know
The files are generated live from the Radar, so a download always matches what the site shows. Each record carries the date it was last checked against its source; check that date, and the source itself, before relying on a record.
Records are educational summaries of the legal position on the date of the check. They are not legal advice and are not intended for compliance purposes. Spotted something out of date? Tell us and we will check it against the source.
Using the data in research, teaching or a product? We would like to hear about it, and to list notable uses here.
