Find Case Law

What Find Case Law is

Find Case Law is a free service for searching published court judgments and tribunal decisions. Its coverage includes England and Wales, plus UK-wide cases from the Supreme Court and Privy Council. Users can search full judgment text and details such as court name or neutral citation, then filter results by date, court or tribunal, party name, or judge name. Judgments can be downloaded as PDFs, printed, saved, or shared through links to specific decisions. The service is available on the web and through an API, with no account required for the described free uses. Reading, downloading, quoting, research, and commercial use are free under the Open Justice Licence; computational analysis requires a separate licence. The collection is not a complete record of all cases: it excludes most magistrates’ court decisions and matters barred from publication by restrictions or other legal constraints. The National Archives provides the service in partnership with the Ministry of Justice, His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service, and the Judicial Office. It does not provide legal advice, interpretation, or support.
