Please help me find the results of a pair of 2004 UK court cases...

February 14, 2012 3:51 PM

I need to find out the results, if any, of a pair of cases filed in the UK High Court of Justice, Queens Division, in 2004. I have the names of the claimants and the case numbers, but don't have access to (or can't find) the legal databases that might give me the info. Anyone in the UK legal world have any hints? I can provide details if you message me. Thanks.

BAILII has only "selected decisions" of the High Court, and if they had it, I assume soulbarn would have found the one he was looking for already as it is well-indexed by Google. It might be in LexisNexis UK, but that will be expensive to access.

[BAILII shouldn't be indexed on google ??]

Oh and for what it's worth, the other English case-law databases would be Westlaw UK, Lawtel, Justis, Bloomberg. They're all fee-based . Bailii is pretty good and there's also the Supreme Court website which publishes every case heard there.

(Possibly, the reason that you're not finding the databases is that you should be looking for English cases, not UK ones - England and Wales is one court system, but Scotland and Northern Ireland are separate (except for the Supreme Court which is a UK court).
