What you can do with it
Search by the point of law — Describe the issue and find the judgments that turned on it, without knowing the case name.
Find the rule, not an article about it — Search the actual instrument, and land on the section that answers the question.
Read the judgment itself — The full text where the court publishes one — not a headnote written by someone else.
Compare across borders — The same question asked of UK, US and EU material in a single search.
Filed to answer
Which judgments have turned on this issue, when I do not know a single case name?
What does the instrument itself require here, rather than what a summary says it requires?
When did this provision come into force, and has it since been amended?
Which court decided this, in which jurisdiction, and when?
How is the same obligation written in another jurisdiction?

A new record is a newly published document. A revision replaces the text on the record that already exists rather than adding a second one, so the count does not double.
Where it stops
It is not legal advice, and a judgment found is not a judgment that binds you.
It cannot tell you whether a case is still good law. Nothing here tracks whether a decision has since been overruled or distinguished.
Where an instrument is published in several languages, the English text is used — so a point turning on the wording of another language version is outside it.
