Important Message:
For links to off-site caselaw resources, visit the links page. This page contains information about the Aspals Case database. The Aspals Case Updater is one of the most comprehensive collections of legal decisions impacting the UK military system. The cases listed in the database now include important Human Rights cases from home and abroad, thought to be of interest to practitioners and researchers. Below is a selection of interesting case titles, extracted from the more extensive database. To meet the increasing costs of running the site it was necessary to restrict access to the full database of indexed cases and useful documents (for which a subscription is required) via the adjacent search button. While links to free resources are maintained, some of the older decisions are now disappearing from the excellent BAILII.org site. For published articles and research assistance, a list of some of the available research materials can be viewed here. This sheet can be accessed free of charge and, if you have a password, its contents linked to directly. Please continue to support us with a donation through PayPal or by purchasing indexed judgments from the selection below. Better still, why not take out an annual subscription? Thank you. Please note: (1) while we do our best to accurately summarise content of cases, these summaries are not intended to be regarded as authoritative. Please consult the source decision; (2) Some cases have been anonymised due to their sensitive nature (eg sexual offences, offences against children and young persons or otherwise where the court has directed). An indexed case is a decision where bookmarks have been added to the text, often with hotlinks to relevant law and precedent, thus making research so much easier. They provide a 'road map' of the decision. Corrections to erroneous citations may also made and explanatory notes added where necessary. Indexed cases take quite some time to prepare, so while access is free to members, there is a modest fee for non-subscribers to reflect the work done. Non-subscribers may purchase an Indexed case by clicking on the flashing Index download button, where available. The blue hypertext links, referencing the decision, are to the database, for which a subscription is required. Case Reporting: For advocates who would like to assist with compiling the Aspals Database, please feel free to report your case. Contributions are welcome for all cases, including those in the Court Martial and Summary Appeal Court, which are not reported except, occasionally, by the press. This inevitably means that important decision are missed, as these unreported cases 'fly under the radar'. Please use this [link] to report your case. |
