🚀 Export UK court and tribunal judgments in seconds. Pull structured records from The National Archives' Find Case Law service straight into CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-25 · 📊 7 fields per record · 70k+ judgments · all UK courts and tribunals on the official register

The Find Case Law service at The National Archives is the official source for UK senior court judgments and tribunal decisions. This scraper reads the public Atom feed and turns each judgment into a structured record with title, URL, court, publication and update dates, and a direct link to the official Akoma Ntoso XML document.

Coverage includes the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, Privy Council, Court of Appeal (Civil and Criminal Divisions), High Court (Chancery, KBD, Family), Court of Protection, Upper Tribunal, Employment Appeal Tribunal, First-tier Tribunals (Tax Chamber and others) and many more. You can filter by court slug, run a free-text query, and choose newest-first or relevance-sorted ordering.
