Information on opinions, judgments and decisions made by judges in court cases.
Many court decisions are made orally at the time of the hearing. Others may be reserved and issued, usually in writing, at a later date.
In relation to certain cases, written decisions from the Supreme Courts are normally published, while those from the sheriff courts may be published. These are in relation to cases which involve:
• a matter of principle
• a particular point of general public importance
• an issue of legal significance
There will be circumstances when a particular decision is not published in the interests of justice.
Judgments published on this website are from 2017 onwards. Find out more on how to access judgments published before 2017
