Limits of the commentary

Before relying on the result

Is the Article enough on its own?

Usually not. The Decree-Law states the rule, the Regulations detail the computation or procedure and guidance explains application. Use all three for an obligation, amount or deadline.

Are OECD materials binding by themselves?

Not every international document is Bahrain legislation by itself. It is used within the Law's referrals or a competent adoption instrument, while current Bahrain legislation and decisions remain controlling.
