Check the original record, the claim it supports and the date it was accessed. A firm publication, a regulator rulebook and independent reporting perform different jobs.
How this reference uses sources
This reference covers Victoria Wells’ legal and public professional record. It distinguishes firm and organization-published team profiles from three independent reported stories, a third-party Instagram post and a government-hosted consultation submission. Three mastheads carrying the same 2026 Australian report are counted as one story. The 2017 Lawyers Weekly item records a historical consultant listing, not a current role. The social post is not counted as a further reported interview or endorsement. Publisher access may require a subscription.
| Consideration | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Official regulatory material | Use the authority’s own rulebooks and registers for the applicable text, scope and permission status. A link to a regulator does not imply that it endorses Ape Law. |
| Ape Law publications | Use official firm, service, author and case pages for statements about the firm. A case note is the publisher’s account, with the limits stated in the original. |
| External records | Name the original publisher and the exact claim it supports. A document hosted by a public body is evidence of that document, not a professional recommendation. |
| Editorial tools | Checklists, matrices and hypothetical examples are explanatory tools created for this reference. They do not describe a client matter or regulator decision. |
