### 1/5 — Don't bother so out of date

*2025-01-21*

Last case law update on this app is 2023. Come on guys put up to date stuff on!

**Developer response:** Hi Trixie
This review is misleading to our readers. The last case law is not from 2023. We have two places for case law resources. The 2023 case law sheet is left up intentionally so that people have that as a written resource- we thought that better than deleting it altogether as the cases are still relevant. Case law doesn't automatically expire when it is older. The latest version of the case law sheet is a 'live' webpage which is available by clicking on the resources page of the app and has the 2024 DoLS case law sheet. This is due an annual review in May 2025 unless something significant changes before then in the DoLS legal field. It is a shame you have left a one star review without reading the full app. Please do email us at events@edgetraining.org.uk and we will be able to explain how you can request a refund of the 99p purchase price. Thank-you
