Court of Cassation Decision Search

General guidance on using the official Court of Cassation decision-search service and assessing search results.

How to Search Court of Cassation Decisions

The official search service can be used with criteria such as decision text, chamber, file number, decision number and date. A useful legal search usually combines legal concepts, statutory references and factual terms instead of relying on one keyword.

When assessing a result

  • Check the chamber and decision date.
  • Check whether the underlying legislation has changed.
  • Compare the facts of the decision with the present matter.
  • Review multiple current and comparable decisions rather than treating one result as conclusive.
