Nevertheless, please do enjoy this free version of the lawindex. Case law does not 'belong' to lawyers. Judgments are made up of words which can be read and understood (if not always easily) by most people. The more people who see the high quality of reasoning employed by judges, and occasionally the unmistakable spark of genius, the more thay can perhaps feel some respect for the law.

Whilst these pages are under development, the range of cases is substantially restricted to facilitate testing.
