case

The case element, containing a report on a legal case or hearing.

Description

OxLawRepML only.

Most instances of this element will contain both a headnote and a judgment group, but it may be possible for a headnote to be captured before the text of a judgment becomes available.

Most judgments will be assumed to be safe on publication (i.e. they remain unchallenged in law and therefore represent the latest legal opinion on the case). It is possible, however, that subsequent considerations—e.g. judicial review—render the judgment unsafe, in which case the safe attribute should be set to no.
