Westlaw Asia Tip - Historic law versioning and point in time search

Last Published: August 06, 2020

Westlaw Asia historic law versioning provides access to past legislation versions from selected jurisdictions so you can quickly see what the legal position was at that point in time.

Are you litigating based on events that took place before the latest law came into force and struggling to find the law as it was on that date?

Westlaw Asia's unique historic law versioning provides access to a wealth of past legislation versions from selected jurisdictions (Hong Kong, Philippines, United Kingdom), so you can track back from the law in force to historic versions and quickly see what the legal position was at the time. Equally for Hong Kong and United Kingdom legislation, you can search directly for the law as it stood on a particular date. In fact, within the United Kingdom database, you can even search forward in time to see what the law will look like on a future date with our prospective law feature!
