Case authority

Reported decisions · treatment layer

Cases are not just retrieved. Esheria marks the court, treatment, recency, and whether the authority is binding or merely useful.

Authority treatment Binding: same jurisdiction and court hierarchy. Persuasive: common-law reasoning surfaced separately.

CasesCourt rankApplied to facts

Regulation

Subsidiary legislation · linked rule

Regulations, rules, and regulator instruments are linked back to the Act they sit under, so the platform can show where the operational detail changes the legal position.

Rule relationship Parent Act, enabling section, form, deadline, penalty, and affected workflow are stored as structured fields.

Gazette event

Gazette notice · change detected

Gazettes are parsed as change events. Commencement dates, revoked notices, amendments, appointments, and sector-specific filings update the graph instead of staying trapped in PDFs.

Version event Previous text, new text, effective date, affected sections, and the team or saved topic that should be alerted.
