Foreign Law Determination
A party intending to raise an issue of foreign law must provide
the court and all parties with reasonable written notice. Issues of
foreign law are questions of law, but in deciding such issues a
court may consider any relevant material or source—including
testimony—without regard to the Federal Rules of Evidence.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
