Other UK courts and tribunals — including the High Court, Crown Court, employment and immigration tribunals, and the devolved courts of Scotland and Northern Ireland — are not yet included. We are extending ingestion and will list them here once their judgments are searchable.

How deep is it, honestly?

This is an appellate collection, not a complete record of UK case law. It is enough to research Supreme Court and Privy Council authority from 2001 onwards in depth, and not enough to be your only source for anything else.

Two limits matter most. Nothing predates 2001, so older leading authority is simply absent — you will not find it here and must go to another source for it. And our Court of Appeal holdings are a small sample rather than coverage of that court.

Because the Supreme Court hears appeals from all three UK jurisdictions, Scottish and Northern Irish appeals do appear — but we do not hold the judgments of the Scottish or Northern Irish courts themselves.
