UK Supreme Court.
The final court of appeal for cases from England and Wales, civil and criminal alike. Its decisions bind every court below it in the jurisdiction.
Case law · England & Wales
English and Welsh case law, pinned to its sources.
Put your question to LexChat the way you would put it to a colleague. It searches the reported cases and legislation of England and Wales and returns an answer pinned to citations you can open.
Why it holds up
Answers you can check, not trust.
England and Wales has one of the deepest bodies of case law anywhere: centuries of reported decisions spread across the Law Reports, the Weekly Law Reports, the All England Law Reports and dozens of specialist series, much of it behind subscription databases. Finding the authority that is actually on point — and confirming it is still good law — takes real time.
LexChat retrieves over English and Welsh reported cases and legislation first, then reasons only over what it found. Whether the answer rests on a Court of Appeal decision, a High Court judgment or a UK Supreme Court ruling on appeal from England and Wales, every proposition is pinned to a source you can open and verify yourself.
The court system
England & Wales's courts, ready to query.
Court of Appeal.
Sits in Civil and Criminal Divisions and produces much of the binding precedent English and Welsh lawyers work with day to day, second in authority only to the UK Supreme Court.
High Court.
The senior first-instance civil court, organised into the King's Bench, Chancery and Family Divisions, with specialist courts such as the Commercial Court within it.
Crown Court.
Hears serious criminal trials and, together with the Court of Appeal and the High Court, makes up the Senior Courts of England and Wales.
