Law changes

You find out before it takes effect

Slovak statutes are amended several times a year. A document drafted last spring can be wrong by autumn and nothing tells its owner. We read the official register every night and compare it against the wording your documents were built from.

What happens when a statute changes

1. 01

   The register publishes new wording

   Slov-Lex publishes an amendment with the date it takes effect, often months ahead.

2. 02

   We spot it that night

   The nightly comparison finds the difference between the wording we hold and the wording published.

3. 03

   We work out who it hits

   Every generated document records which provisions it was built from, so we know whose documents the change touches.

4. 04

   You get an e-mail naming the document

   Not a newsletter about legislation. The name of your document, the statute, and the date the new wording applies.

We watch the statutes behind the documents in our library. We do not claim to watch the entire body of Slovak law.
