2011 Judgments

Court judgments are available for the most senior courts, typically Court of Appeal decisions.

Court judgments are available for the most senior courts, typically Court of Appeal decisions.

From time to time we link from these pages to high profile judgments or those which we think set particularly important precedents.

Judgments are also made freely available by the British and Irish Legal Information Institute (BAILII) and are usually made available within 48 hours of the judgment being handed down.

A free case summary service is also available from the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting.
