Corrections

What happens when the register is wrong.

The commitment

An entry found to be wrong is corrected in the next revision, the correction is described in the revision history, and the superseded revision stays available with its original hash. A correction is never made silently and a superseded revision is never overwritten.

What a correction looks like

• Struck, not substituted. An entry that cannot be matched to the right court file is removed. It is not reassigned to a different docket that happens to fit.
• The rate moves. If a correction changes a published figure, the figure changes and the revision history says by how much and why.
• The guard stays. Where a correction came from a defect that a rule could catch, the rule is added and kept.

Reporting something wrong

Write to [email protected]. A report is most useful with the entry identifier and the document that contradicts it. The register answers; it does not promise to agree.

Where a report concerns a person rather than an entry — a name that should not appear, or a court's anonymization that was not preserved — it is treated as urgent and handled before the next scheduled revision.

What is not a correction

A disagreement with the methodology is not a correction and is not handled here. The methodology is published for comment and changes by version, not by request.
