Dunno if if the English peeps get any info on this, but CaseCheck’s a snazzy service. it’s a free service that uses experts in their field to write synopsis of recent cases, and you can subscribe to the RSS feeds of all types, or just specific areas.
It’s Scottish-based, so you’ll find material on it that’s only relevant to Scots like Court of Session stuff, but it also has bits that are UK relevant, like Employment Appeal Tribunal Cases.
I have asked and got verbal permission for the fact that all material is ok for reposting in internal news etc, with attribution.

Right, time for Tunnocks to have another shot at getting their VAT back from their ‘luxury product’ of Teacakes, now that M&S have proved a teacake is actually, yes, a cake.
Btw, I love Tunnocks Teacakes. Might be a by-product of being from the place where they’re made! :-)

Useful looking course about:
From Parliament Square to Holyrood – historical official publications online
A seminar aimed at all users of official publications and statistics. The seminar will provide an introduction to all the new and exciting historical resources currently available online – from Pre 1707 Scots Parliament records, early Westminster through to the Holyrood of the present day.
It is though, in Edinburgh! And does seem, fromt he breakdown, to be far more about UK law online, with just one Scottish talk, so not too Scots specific if anyone feels like a jaunt up North :D
More info (from the email) on m’blog if anyone’s interested.
http://www.lib.gla.ac.uk/swop/events/index.html is the booking page but doesn’t have the detail of the course.

Is there a way of finding these precedents as a job lot though?
