Research tools

Four ways into the same archive — choose the method the brief requires

Query case details and the complete judgement. Use it when you recall a phrase from the holding, a party name, or the style of the court.

Search only the summary and headnote. The proper tool when you are collecting authorities on a point of law rather than reconstructing a narrative.

Publisher, then year, then page. Cascading fields so the citation you already hold from a report or a pleading resolves to the full text.

Date range, appellant, respondent, advocate, appeal number, and the name of the learned judge — for when the instruction is specific.

A running list of recently dated decisions, for keeping the desk current with the High Court and other courts in the archive.

Download a print-ready copy of the judgement for the brief, the opinion, or the court compilation.
