search_law

Find acts and instruments by name. Returns the title ids the other tools take.

get_law_as_at

The same, but as the law stood on any past date.

verify_citations

Pull statute citations out of text and check each against the register: does the act exist, is it in force, does the cited section exist. Upstream failures come back as UNVERIFIED, never as a missing law.

get_amendment_status

In force or repealed, what the latest compilation incorporates, whether commenced amendments are still unincorporated, and what has amended it.
