Broken Links
“When I click on a link from one case to another, sometimes, no case is found – Why?” Ours is a very long term project. When a case is noted up, each case it links to is annotated also, set for publication, and a link is created. Not all cases are however published immediately. We set out publish a minimum of 100 a day. When a case is first published therefore, it may create a link to cases not yet published. This should usually clear itself within a couple of weeks.

We only reflect information derived from official publications. Going to court is a public process. Unless the court said otherwise, anybody and everybody has the right in law to know what happened. Courts publish the judgments with the clear intention that they become widely available. We publish these cases as a resource for lawyers, and those interested in the law. We have no desire to cause embarrassment, and usually go beyond the official systems in attempting to reduce exposure. We welcome your approach. We can often, but not always, help. Please just contact us by email at david@swarb.co.uk.
