Titles stay sealed until three days before release. Times are shown in your own time zone, with Adelaide, US East and UK alongside.
Exhibit B · Behind the wall
Some files were never meant to be opened.
We are always uncovering the truth.
What others don't want you to know.
Exhibit C · How we investigate
Every claim has an address.
Move across the page. The record is underneath.
Established Court judgments, regulator findings, admissions and agreed facts. We say what was decided, by whom, and when.
Alleged Claims made in court or by a regulator that have not been decided. We say they are allegations, every time.
Disputed Where the sources disagree, we show both sides and the documents behind them.
Unverified Reported once, or not checked against a primary record. We don't build a story on it.
Primary records first
Judgments, filings, transcripts, company disclosures and the archive. Reporting by others is credited and checked against the record.
Every source, listed
Each film's description lists the records it relies on, so you can read them yourself.
A right of reply
Every company and person we name is contacted in writing before release. If they reply, we say what they said. If they don't, we say that too.
Corrections in the open
If we get something wrong, we fix it and say so. Write to editorial@ledgerhousemedia.com.
