Currency

The rule that applies now

Procuro distinguishes law in force from historical, repealed or merely related provisions, and prefers current law.

Overview

Current vs repealed

Search a body of legislation for a rule and you will find several versions of it, some superseded years ago — and a confident answer drawn from a repealed provision is worse than no answer. Procuro separates law in force from historical, repealed and merely related provisions, and prefers what currently applies.
