How we write and check the guides

The Legy guides explain the legislation of the Republic of Moldova in plain language. These are the rules we write and check them by, and what the dates on each guide mean.

How the guides are written

• We start from the text of the law: every legal statement in a guide rests on a specific article, named in the text and in the list of sources.
• The guides are written by the Legy team with the help of artificial intelligence tools. A guide is published only after every reference has been checked against the text of the article it comes from.
• A statement that cannot be checked against the text of the law is removed from the guide, not kept in a vaguer form.
• The sources link to the official text of each act on legis.md, so you can read it yourself.

What the dates on a guide mean

• Published: the day the guide first appeared. Updated: the last change to its text.
• Law in force on: the day the text of the cited acts was taken from legis.md into the Legy library. The guide describes the law in force that day; an amendment in force after it may not be covered.
• Checked: the day every reference in the guide was re-read against the text of the article.

Who reviews

• The guides have not yet been reviewed by a named jurist. When they are, the reviewer's name and the date of the review will appear on each reviewed guide.

What you can rely on in a Legy answer

• The article and the act are named, so you can open and read them yourself.
• Quotes and figures in the answer (time limits, amounts, percentages) are checked against the text of the article.
• The answer comes from the legislation of the Republic of Moldova that the Legy library holds: the Constitution, the codes and the laws. Government decisions are not included.
• Legy provides legal information, not legal advice. For a specific case, especially in court, consult an advocate.

How we correct mistakes

• If you find a mistake, write to us at contact@dablg.com with the address of the guide and the article you mean. We re-read the official text and, if you are right, correct the guide and change its update date.

How often we re-check

• When the text of an article a guide cites changes in the Legy library, the guide is re-read against the new text and its dates change.
• The guides do not replace the official text: before you act, check the text in force on legis.md.
