Court Coverage
1,683 judgments from 3 courts, 2009–2026. Here is exactly what that does and does not include.
Judgments are ingested from the National Archives Find Case Law service. The figures below are read directly from our database, so they always reflect current holdings. We publish the count for each court rather than a headline total, because a court with a handful of judgments should not be read as covered.
Other UK courts and tribunals — including the High Court, Crown Court, employment and immigration tribunals, and the devolved courts of Scotland and Northern Ireland — are not yet included. We are extending ingestion and will list them here once their judgments are searchable.
How deep is it, honestly?
1,683 judgments is an appellate collection, not a complete record of UK case law. It is enough to research Supreme Court and Privy Council authority from 2009 onwards in depth, and not enough to be your only source for anything else.
Two limits matter most. Nothing predates 2009, so older leading authority is simply absent — you will not find it here and must go to another source for it. And our Court of Appeal holdings are a small sample rather than coverage of that court, as the count above shows.
Because the Supreme Court hears appeals from all three UK jurisdictions, Scottish and Northern Irish appeals do appear — but we do not hold the judgments of the Scottish or Northern Irish courts themselves.
- Supreme Court of the United Kingdom — 953 judgments
- Judicial Committee of the Privy Council — 706 judgments
- Court of Appeal (Civil Division) — 24 judgments (sample only)
Not covered at all: the High Court and Crown Court of England and Wales, the tribunal system, the Court of Session and High Court of Justiciary in Scotland, and the Northern Ireland courts.
