AI-generated briefs
50 pages of judgment
→ 90 seconds of clarity
Every brief extracts the ratio, obiter dicta, material facts, and subsequent treatment — structured for revision, not just reading.
Case
Donoghue v Stevenson [1932] AC 562
Court
House of Lords
Ratio Decidendi
A manufacturer of products owes a duty of care to the ultimate consumer where the goods reach the consumer in the form in which they left the manufacturer, with no reasonable possibility of intermediate examination.
Key Principle
The "neighbour principle" — you must take reasonable care to avoid acts or omissions which you can reasonably foresee would be likely to injure your neighbour.
Subsequent Treatment
→ Applied in Caparo v Dickman [1990] — three-part test
→ Distinguished in Murphy v Brentwood [1991] — pure economic loss
→ Considered in Robinson v Chief Constable [2018] — police duty
Citation intelligence
Never cite an overruled case again
Interactive citation maps reveal how precedents cite, distinguish, and overrule each other — so you never miss a critical link.

Built by a law student, for law students
“I was tired of paying hundreds for Westlaw just to search for cases I already knew existed. So I built caselaw — the tool I wished I had from day one of my degree. Every feature exists because I needed it myself.”

Frequently asked questions
What is Caselaw?
Caselaw (getcaselaw.com) is a UK law study platform that turns full court judgments into plain-English case briefs — facts, issue, held, ratio and significance — alongside past papers, an AI tutor, flashcards and a law glossary across nine jurisdictions.
Is Caselaw free?
Yes. There is a free plan with case briefs and study tools; paid plans add unlimited AI briefs and premium features.
Where do the case briefs come from?
From primary judgments published by The National Archives and BAILII under the UK Open Government Licence. Each brief is generated from the source judgment and links back to it.
Which courses and exams does Caselaw cover?
LLB, SQE, GDL/PGDL and Oxbridge law, plus US, Canadian and other Commonwealth jurisdictions.
Are the case briefs accurate?
Briefs are derived from the official judgment and checked for citation accuracy, and every case links to its primary source so you can verify it.
