INTRODUCTION
Opinions differ as to the extent of the traceability obligation.
The scope may be limited for some, or very broad for others, with managerial consequences – and consequent costs – or legal sanctions.
To avoid making for difficult reading, it is preferable to begin with an analysis of the mandatory texts dealing with traceability, in line with the rules of interpretation that the judge is likely to use. For sooner or later, it is the judge who will have the last word.
It's only in an appendix devoted to arguments to the contrary (prolepses) that we will discuss and –– hopefully refute the different interpretations once and for all.
