SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you audit Singapore legal documents to confirm that every cited statute reference exists and matches the chosen statute snapshot version, reducing citation mistakes that can undermine filings or submissions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Statutory citation validation: Finds statute references in a Word document and checks them against a live Singapore statute database.
  • Amendment/repeal awareness: Flags citations that are amended, repealed, or not found, with clear validation status.
  • Word Add-in workflow: Scans whole documents or scoped regions and produces an auditable report for lawyer review.

Use case example: Before filing a submission, run the checker on your Word draft to generate a list of statutory citations with statuses like valid, amended, repealed, or not found, so you can correct them against the selected snapshot date.

Quick Start

Use the bart-statutory-reference-checker skill on your attached Word document by specifying the intended Singapore statute snapshot date and the check scope (whole document or selected text) so you receive a citation validation report for lawyer review.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check statutory citations in a Word document against Singapore law?▼

Statutory citation checking involves matching cited chapter and section references against a live Singapore statute database for a specific snapshot date, ensuring your legal documents reference the correct version of the law.

How do I verify if a statute reference in my legal submission has been repealed?▼

You can verify if a statute reference has been repealed by running a citation validation check on your Word document, which flags cited provisions with statuses like valid, amended, repealed, or not found for lawyer review.

Can I check statutory citations for just a selected portion of a Word document?▼

Yes, you can check statutory citations for a scoped selection within your Word document, allowing you to target specific regions of text rather than scanning the whole file for citation accuracy against your chosen snapshot date.

Does statutory citation validation require a specific snapshot date for Singapore law?▼

Yes, statutory citation validation requires you to explicitly specify a Singapore statute snapshot date, ensuring that all chapter and section references are audited against the exact version of the law in effect at that time.

What happens if a cited provision is not found in the Singapore statute database?▼

If a cited provision is not found in the Singapore statute database, the validation check implements a halt-on-missing safeguard and flags the reference in an auditable report so you can correct it during lawyer review.
