How we use case law
The Trans Inclusion Toolkit helps organisations make fair, lawful and well-reasoned decisions. It supports your decision-making. It is not legal advice.
Where our case law comes from
We read judgments from their official sources: The National Archives' Find Case Law service, the courts' own websites, and GOV.UK for Employment Appeal Tribunal decisions. Legislation comes from legislation.gov.uk.
What we write
For each judgment we hold, we write our own summary: what the court decided, why, and the paragraphs that matter, each with a link to the full judgment. A second reader checks every summary. Any correction to how we describe the law is checked by two independent readers before it is published.
How the assistant uses it
Quinn, the toolkit's AI assistant, searches our summaries and the judgments we hold, and answers with references to the paragraphs it relies on, so you can check every point against the source. Quinn's answers are labelled as AI-generated.
What we don't hold
The toolkit holds a selection of judgments, not every decision ever made. A case that isn't in the toolkit may still matter, and the law keeps moving. If a judgment is revised or withdrawn, we update or remove our summary.
Privacy and anonymity
We keep every anonymity order the court made. We never try to identify a person a court has anonymised, and our summaries and answers never name them. Judgment text is never published on our public pages or offered to search engines. The public pages carry our own summaries, citations and links only.

Tell us if something is wrong
If you think a summary or an answer gets the law wrong, or treats anyone unfairly, use the Report button in the toolkit or contact us at [email protected]. We look into every report, and correct or withdraw anything that is wrong.
