How to check the answer

The note contains an answer, references to provisions and decisions in force that you opened, and a caveat on the limits of the conclusion

Pitfalls

• General chats mix up the law of different countries and states: always name the jurisdiction
• A material deal needs an opinion from a local lawyer; a database answer is only the first step
