Notice: The Times Law Report link is now defunct

Owing to a change in the administration of the Times Law Report website, the link to Latest Times Law Reports on the Cases search form is no longer being updated.

You can still find and keep up to date with all the latest Times Law Report cases by running a search across All Subscribed Cases from the Cases Search Form or QuickSearch. Alternatively, if you want to search the Times exclusively, simply locate the Times Law Reports by typing Times into the “Find a source” Quick Find option and select the Times Law Reports from the source directory. You may want to add it to your Bookshelf or as a favourite source in the Cases drop-down menu for future use.

The source will be updated daily, and will mean you can now search all your favourite case sources simultaneously, saving you time and effort.

The link to the Times Law Reports microsite will be removed from the Cases Search Form at the next release.

It is illegal to hail down a taxi if you have the Black Death! The driver is supposed to ask you if you have any "notifiable diseases such as smallpox or the plague.” The driver should refuse anyone who looks infected because if you die on the journey he will be committing the offence of carrying a corpse!
