Did you know the collection of judgments on the SCC website was previously not quite complete? As of April 10, 2015, the gaps are filled.
From the news release of that day:
…all decisions published in the Supreme Court Reports dating back to 1876 are now available on the SCC Judgments website. Over the past 20 years, the SCC and Lexum have been working collaboratively, together with partners such as the Law Foundation of Ontario, the Law Foundation of British Columbia, the Alberta Law Foundation, the Centre d’accès à l’information juridique in Quebec, CanLII and others, to fill in gaps in the Supreme Court judgment database.
The free availability of judgments dating back to 1876 on the Web is part of the SCC’s commitment to making case-related information accessible. All of these newly-added SCC decisions can also be found in the CanLII database at www.canlii.org.
See a October 2014 post on Slaw from Daniel Poulin of Lexum for a prelude and some context. (Lexum is a legal information technology company which has long driven the content for the SCC judgments and CanLII.)
