The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple Middle Society Honourable the The of 2019 Issue 59 Michaelmas 2019 Issue 59 Women Readers of Middle Temple Celebrating 100 Years of Women at Middle Temple The Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England and Wales Practice Note (Relevance of Law Reporting) [2019] ICLR 1 Catchwords — Indexing of case law — Structured taxonomy of subject matter — Identification of legal issues raised in particular cases — Legal and factual context — “Words and phrases” con- strued — Relevant legislation — European and International instruments The common law, whose origins were said to date from the reign of King Henry II, was based on the notion of a single set of laws consistently applied across the whole of England and Wales. A key element in its consistency was the principle of stare decisis, according to which decisions of the senior courts created binding precedents to be followed by courts of equal or lower status in later cases. In order to follow a precedent, the courts first needed to be aware of its existence, which in turn meant that it had to be recorded and published in some way. Reporting of cases began in the form of the Year Books, which in the 16th century gave way to the publication of cases by individual reporters, known collectively as the Nominate Reports. However, by the middle of the 19th century, the variety of reports and the variability of their quality were such as to provoke increasing criticism from senior practitioners and the judiciary. The solution proposed was the establishment of a body, backed by the Inns of Court and the Law Society, which would be responsible for the publication of accurate coverage of the decisions of senior courts in England and Wales. The criteria for the selection of reportable cases were set down in a paper by a senior practitioner. On that basis, the Council of Law Reporting was established in 1865 and incorporated two years later as a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee. Since then it had published The Law Reports, the Weekly Law Reports, the Industrial Cases Reports, the Business Law Reports and the Public and Third Sector Reports, as well as a Consolidated Index to its own and other leading series of law reports. With the advent of computers and the establishment of the internet, all the law reports and the index data were converted into a format suitable for online publication and made available on the ICLR’s own legal research platform (iclr.co.uk) as well as being licensed to certain third party legal databases. On the question whether ICLR was still relevant and useful — Held, (1) that the administration of justice in a common law jurisdiction in accordance with the principle of stare decisis depended upon the availability of accurate reports of binding precedents; that there was a need for a consistent and comprehensive approach to the reporting of legal decisions, supplied at cost and speed of publication consistent with the maintenance of the highest editorial standards of accuracy and reliability; and that, accordingly, ICLR continued to perform an essential role in supporting legal education and the administration of justice. Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England and Wales v Attorney-General [1972] Ch 73, CA considered. (2) That the digitisation of the reports facilitated not only the rapid and efficient location of relevant cases by way of electronic research, but also permitted the enrichment of the underlying data and the provision of links and associations with other cases and content in ways that would not be possible in the two-dimensional print universe; that continued research into the possibilities of such enrichment and interlinking was therefore an essential component of the future development of legal information; and that, accordingly, both ICLR’s legal database at iclr.co.uk and ICLR&D as its research and development arm served a useful and valuable function and deserved the support of all legal professionals and educators.
