How are these judgments chosen, what criteria is used and is there scope for lawyers to alert reporters to an important case or potential precedent? In this week’s NLJ, Brendan Wright, barrister and the editor of The Law Reports and The Weekly Law Reports, describes the decision-making process.
Wright explains the criteria are the ‘time-honoured’ Lindley principles, laid down in 1863. A team of about 25 reporters, all barristers or solicitors, cover a wide range of courts and tribunals. Their dedication results in the trove of law found in The Law Reports, The Weekly Law Reports, The Industrial Cases Reports, The Business Law Reports and The Public and Third Sector Law Reports.
All the reports are available at Iclr.co.uk. See Brendan's full article here.
