Status: confirmed and corrected by Riigi Teataja. The public consolidated page shows a correction notice dated 27 April 2026 at 09:35.
Case: EE-2025-AUDIIT-95-2-1 Effective: 2025-01-17 Corrected: 2026-04-27 Disposition: externally confirmed

Jurisdiction: Estonia
Publisher: Riigi Teataja
Act: Auditors Activities Act (Audiitortegevuse seadus), act ID 107012025013
Provision: § 952(1)

Summary

During LawVM development, a replay check flagged that the consolidated text of Audiitortegevuse seadus § 952(1) appeared not to include a phrase inserted by amendment act RT I, 07.01.2025, 1.

The missing phrase was või kestlikkusaruande audiitorkontrolli.

Riigi Teataja reviewed the report and corrected the Estonian consolidated text. The project case record also reports that the correction covered the English translation; that translation detail is not presented here as a separately adjudicated public finding. The publisher’s current English consolidated text is available for comparison.

What LawVM demonstrated

This is a narrow consolidation omission. It shows that deterministic amendment replay can act as an independent QA layer for consolidated legislation: replay the amendment stream, compare it to the consolidated surface, and investigate cases where the source-backed replay and the official surface diverge.

This case supports a narrower claim: replay can produce concrete, source-backed candidates that official publishers can verify and correct. It does not establish a general accuracy rate.

Current command path

The evidence inventory records this case as base ID 114032025030, comparison ID 107012025013, and address chapter:7/division:1/section:95_2/subsection:1.

Use: the command demonstrates the current consistency-check workflow. The dated case record rests on the linked public sources and publisher disposition.

Claim boundary

The evidence establishes one publisher-confirmed correction. Claims about Riigi Teataja’s general reliability, LawVM’s Estonia coverage, or other replay-versus-consolidation differences require separate evidence.

The public record establishes one concrete publisher-confirmed outcome: a LawVM-reported omission was reviewed, confirmed as described, and corrected in the public consolidated text.

Institutional significance

Here, the Riigi Teataja consolidated page is the publisher’s public comparison surface. Replay is a consistency-checking layer, not a replacement for the official text. The case is externally reviewed, publicly visible, and small enough to audit from source amendment to corrected consolidation.
