The website of the judges, magistrates and tribunal members in England and Wales

Home | About the judiciary | Key facts | Learning resources | Judgments and guidance | Publications and media

These are made freely available by the British and Irish Legal Information Institute. You can search for judgments on the BAILII website. They are usually made available within 48 hours of the judgment being handed down.

From time to time, we will link from this page to specific judgments which we think set particularly important precedents or are high profile.

One further point - you may think we can't spell, but when we refer to a court judgment we have deliberately missed an “e” out. It is not entirely clear why, it's just the way it is spelt!
