Laws change over time. It is a good idea to check that your law has not been replaced or that a change (amendment) has been made. Even online versions on websites MAY be out of date.
You can check the websites for the laws for the federal and provincial governments for any recent activity relating to the law you are researching.
There may be a gap between the time legislation is approved by the government and the day it comes into effect. You need to be aware if the version of the statute you have omits or includes sections that are not yet in effect.
See the Bills tab for help finding out if there is a recent change or a change in process for the law you are researching.
Noting up legislation refers to finding cases which apply or interpret an Act or a provision of an Act. Other terms for the same function include "case annotations", "legislation judicially considered", or "statutes judicially considered". Quicklaw gives you the ability to note up statutes online.
Once you have located a statute click on Citing Cases to note it up.
Quickscribe allows you to receive notification of changes to legislation you identify as relevant.
