Civil Court Practice name change

The online name for the Civil Court Practice 2009 is changing to The Civil Court Practice 2009 (The Green Book). This change will take effect in July and will make finding the source much easier, since it is already commonly known as “The Green Book”. You can now find the source by typing “Green Book” into the Quickfind box located on the homepage or each practice area page.

More precedent sources on LexisLibrary

Continuing our drive to make accessing the information you need easier, we’ve updated and rebuilt precedents, contained in larger commentary sources, by splitting them into separate sources for greater visibility. The latest additional precedent sources are:

 

Butterworths Law of Food and Drugs Precedents

BILS Immigration Precedents

Where these works are part of your subscription, you will see the new separated precedents listed in the directory, below the main work itself. This means that you can easily search and browse these precedent collections, and that searches you run on ‘All Subscribed Forms & Precedents Sources’ will return results from these titles as well.

 

You can find these new sources in the sources directory, or by using the ‘Find a Source’ option in Quick Find. For example, search for BILS to bring back all BILS sources including the precedents.

Reminder: easier case searching and wider coverage

Don’t forget to add our new Judgments source to your Bookshelves. You can do this by clicking on the Add/remove/sort sources link under the “My Bookshelf” heading.  The Judgments source makes case searching easier and faster, and provides wider coverage whilst retaining the quality of our existing service. The most important cases will still be selected by our law reporters to digest for the All England Reporter service.

Did you know?

Since its inception in 1929, Halsbury's Statutes have dealt with over 7,800 Acts and Measures. Halsbury’s Statutes provides annotations to every substantive provision in force today, going right back to the very earliest 13th Century statutes! The very first statute we hold record of is the Statute of Marlborough (1267) which, amongst other things, aimed to prevent tenant "fermors" from "making waste" of the land they "ferm".

Top Tip: the within (w/n) connector

 

When entering terms into a search box, using the w/n connector will help improve the relevancy of results returned back.

 

E.g. mortgage w/5 fraud will bring back results where these words appear within 5 words of each other.  This will bring back a more flexible results set than if you had typed in “mortgage fraud” - which would only retrieve results with that exact phrase in.

 

You can use w/p (within a paragraph) for a wider search or w/s (within a sentence) for a narrower search.

 

Go on, give it a go!
