Find Case Law: UK National Archives

By

The National Archives (UK) have taken on responsibility for the external publication of court judgments under the Public Records Act 1958 (UK) - creating the first publicly available government database of UK judgments. This coincides with the end of a contract with BAILII.

This new service is called Find Case Law and will begin by publishing court and tribunal decisions from the superior courts of record – The Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, High Court, and Upper Tribunals. Going forward, The National Archives will continue to work with the Ministry of Justice and the Judiciary to include judgments from more courts and tribunals and to add historical judgments to the service.

You can access Find Case Law at https://caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/  Guidance on how to search the service can be found on the What to Expect page.

A press release from the National Archives about the launch can be found here. Law Gazette also wrote a piece on the new service here.


Special Thanks to ALLA (WA) Members who brought this to the ALLA (WA) Blog's attention.
