BAILII: Scotland

BAILII (the British and Irish Legal Information Institute) provides the most comprehensive set of British and Irish primary legal materials freely available online. The Scottish case law databases have judgments of the Court of Session, High Court of Justiciary and Sheriff Court, 1998 onwards, with selective coverage for earlier years. Cases from 1469 to 1808 are in the form of law reports from BAILII’s Historical Scottish Law Reports collection mostly taken from Morison’s Dictionary of Decisions supplemented by cases from other nominate reports. Legislation includes Acts of the Scottish Parliament and Scottish Statutory Instruments, both 1999 onwards. Selected Scottish Law Commission publications are also available.
