Courts and tribunals directory

The Courts and tribunals directory provides the complete list of courts and tribunals included in Find Case Law.

Use the directory to:

• see which courts and tribunals are covered
• access individual court pages
• navigate to specific jurisdictions

Individual court landing pages

Each court and tribunal has its own page showing:

• recent judgments from that court
• coverage information (date ranges and completeness)
• description of the court's role and jurisdiction
• direct search within that court's judgments

Understanding coverage

Different courts and tribunals have different date ranges in Find Case Law.

Courts and tribunals in Find Case Law shows you:

• date ranges for each court's judgments and tribunal’s decision
• what's included and what's not available
• information about historical judgments

Find Case Law is not a complete record of judgments and decisions for the courts or tribunals. Ex tempore (verbal) judgments that are not routinely transcribed may not be sent to The National Archives. For these, please contact the court or tribunal directly.

Check for appeals

Some judgments may subsequently have been appealed and the judgments on appeal may not be included in the Find Case Law service. You should satisfy yourself that a judgment has not been the subject of an appeal before relying on it as an authority.
