Service identity, England/Wales and UK Supreme Court/Privy Council coverage, and distinction between ordinary access and computational reuse.
What this check doesn’t establish
- Not a complete record of every judgment; coverage varies by court and date.
- Licence applicability requires the service’s current reuse terms, not this summary.
Confidence applies to the scope above, not every claim made by the underlying source. How confidence works
- Kind
- service (third party)
The service does not contain every judgment. Its published guidance distinguishes reading, downloading and sharing judgments from commercial or computational uses that may require a separate free licence.
The essay treats addressable judgments as evidence for more knowable law. That is an interpretation of the service’s value, not a claim of complete coverage.
