Law and Blockchain: A Qualitative Inquiry into Legal Challenges of Sustainable Supply Chain Governance should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that There is great regulatory uncertainty around blockchain and smart contracts, especially in financial services, and legal frameworks globally will have to change to adapt to the growing use of the technology.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
