How this works
Keeps an append-only record of everything that happened on a sale — registrations, approvals, document versions, bids, extensions, results — for dispute and compliance purposes.
Who uses it
Auctioneer · Compliance officer · Vendor's solicitor on request

- 3A compliance pack can be exported as a single PDF bundle for the vendor's solicitor.
Data captured
- Append-only event log per lot
