1. Open Justice, Free for All
CauseAlert.com often requires expensive subscriptions to access timely court alerts. Open Court Data UK believes that justice should be transparent and accessible. Our platform provides full access to our database of civil and criminal cases for free.
2. Beyond Just Alerts
While CauseAlert focuses on notifying you when a case appears, we provide the tools to research the context of that case. Our integrated judgment database and judicial profiles allow you to perform deep background research that simple alert services cannot match.
3. Comprehensive Civil & Criminal Data
Don't limit your research to just one type of court. Open Court Data UK aggregates information from across the entire UK justice system, providing a unified view that saves you time and money.
