CODICES

The CODICES database was created by the European Commission for Democracy through Law (Venice Commission). It provides key judgments from the constitutional courts of European countries, the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union. There is background information on each constitutional court, with details of powers, composition and organisation, as well as basic texts relating to the court. The constitutions of all member states of the Council of Europe and national laws relating to constitutional courts are also given.

Supreme Court of the United Kingdom

Official website of the UK Supreme Court, the final court of appeal for civil cases in the UK and for criminal cases from England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The site provides a comprehensive collection of judgments, details of ongoing cases, a schedule of court sittings and an outline of the Court's history and role. Live and recorded video footage of court sittings are available, together with court forms, court rules, practice directions and other procedural information.

The contents include the Constitution and individual laws in force (under 'Textes consolidés'); more than 70 codes; the Journal Officiel from 1869 onwards, cases, draft laws and other parliamentary material (under 'Dossiers legislatifs'). The site, which is entirely in French, can be browsed by type of material, and basic and advanced search facilities are available.
