Knowledge

Case law reference materials all in one place

For background information about case law, legislation, the courts and the legal system, check out the Knowledge section of our website. There’s a growing glossary of legal terms and the answers to many Frequently Asked Questions about ICLR and legal matters generally.

What’s the difference between a law report and a (judgment) transcript? What do I call the judge? How do I link to ICLR content on my blog? All this and more can be answered, along with definitions of Ademption, Bona vacantia, Contra proferentem, and other confusing jargon from A to Z.

There is also a Guide to UK law reports and their citations, an Interactive guide to the different elements of a law report and an explanation of how we categorise different judicial considerations or treatments of previous case law (what’s the difference between Followed, Applied and Approved, for example).

If there’s a case law conundrum that’s got you puzzled, let us know. We are constantly adding to this store of knowledge, and want to make it as useful as possible.
