<h3>Who is the application form for?</h3>
<h1>Apply to do computational analysis</h1>
<p>
You need to complete an application form if you intend to use Court Judgments and/or Tribunal Decisions
information in a way that is outside the terms of the <a href="{% url "open_justice_licence" %}">Open Justice Licence</a>.
You need to apply for a licence if you would like to programmatically analyse Find Case Law records
as data. Licences are free. Please complete the
<a href="{% static '/documents/Find_Case_Law_Computational_Analysis_Licence_Application_Form.docx' %}">
downloadable application form (Microsoft Word 85.7 KB)
</a>
</p>
<p>There are two types of licences we issue that permit computational analysis:</p>
<ol>
<li>Research and development licence</li>
<li>Transactional licence</li>
</ol>
<p>
For example, you will need to apply for a licence if you are undertaking any type of computational analysis
of judgments and tribunal decisions, including by compiling a search engine index.
There is one application form for both licences. The application form is made up of 5 sections
including :
</p>
<p>Anyone can apply for a licence and there is no charge to apply.</p>
<h3>Why is a licence necessary?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Contact</li>
<li>About your organisation</li>
<li>Purpose and activities</li>
<li>Public statement</li>
<li>Statements and Principles</li>
</ul>
<p>
Open Justice is a fundamental constitutional principle and necessary for the rule of law. It is important that
Court Judgments and Tribunal Decisions are published and made available for re-use by third parties. It is
also important that re-users understand their responsibilities and do not jeopardise the proper administration
of justice.
You can read more about case law as data and licences: <a href="https://caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/about-this-service#section-data">https://caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/about-this-service#section-data</a>.
</p>
<h2>Before you start</h2>
<h3>1. Check you need to apply</h3>
<p>
The Crown holds rights (copyright and database rights) in Court Judgments and Tribunal Decisions. In order to
re-use the information you need permission from the Keeper of Public Records, as the Crown’s officeholder
under Letters Patent, for the re-use of this material. <a href="{% url "open_justice_licence" %}">Open Justice Licence</a>
provides standard terms for re-use. If the purpose of the re-use cannot be met within the terms of the Open
Justice Licence, re-users need to apply
for a specific licence from The National Archives.
You only need to apply for a licence if you intend to use computational analysis in your re-use of Find
Case Law records in ways that are not already permitted under the Open Justice Licence.
The Open Justice licence permits certain re-uses without the need to apply for an additional licence, for example, when you want to:
</p>
<h3>Exclusions from the licence</h3>
<ul>
<li>copy, publish, distribute and transmit the Information;</li>
<li>
exploit the Information commercially, for example, by combining it with other Information,
or by including it in your own product or application.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
We will licence the information ‘as is’ and exclude all representations, warranties, obligations and liabilities
in relation to the information to the maximum extent permitted by law.
More information can be found: <a href="https://caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/open-justice-licence">Open Justice Licence - Find case law (nationalarchives.gov.uk)</a>.
</p>
<h3>2. Check whether your application is likely to be considered high risk</h3>
<p>Computational analysis of judgments is currently considered high-risk when it is used to:</p>
<ul>
<li>produce fully automated legal advice; or</li>
<li>
perform automation to anticipate legal decisions directly for a client or consumer, such as
tools which set expectations for case outcomes through modelling or predictive analytics; or
</li>
<li>
otherwise directly inform or influence the decision of a third-party whether to pursue justice
or legal action.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>3. Make sure your re-use complies with all existing regulations</h3>
<p>
We will not be liable for any errors or omissions in the information. We will not be liable for any loss, injury
or damage of any kind caused by its use.
Examples include the Legal Services Act (LSA), and UK General Data Protection Regulation (UKGDPR).
Please note that this licence:
</p>
<h3>Personal data</h3>
<ul>
<li>is not a data sharing agreement for personal data</li>
<li>is not a processing agreement for personal data</li>
</ul>
<h3>4. Part of your application may be published</h3>
<p>
Court Judgments and Tribunal Decisions contain information about people. This typically includes the names of
parties and other people mentioned in the judgment or decision, as well as the representatives of the parties,
and the names of the judges hearing the case. The information about people varies. It can include a variety of
types of special category personal data, depending on the subject matter of the case.
We keep a record of all applications. If your application is successful your answers to the questions
in the ‘About your organisation’, ‘Purpose and activity’ and ‘public statement’ sections may be made
publicly available in the future.
</p>
<h2>Information you will need to apply</h2>
<h3>1. The details of the person responsible for the licence</h3>
<p>
Any licence we issue will only apply to the currently published version of the Court Judgments and Tribunal
Decisions (as published by the Keeper of Public Records on The National Archives’ Case Law website).
They should be someone who is senior in your organisation and will be responsible for licence
application and compliance. They will need to be someone we can talk to if we have questions about
the application.
</p>
<ul>
<li>their name</li>
<li>their email</li>
</ul>
<h3>2. The details of your organisation including:</h3>
<ul>
<li>legal name of your organisation</li>
<li>what type of organisation is it (e.g. private limited company or registered charity)</li>
</ul>
<h3>3. A public statement</h3>
<p>
As a recipient of the information, you are responsible for complying with any judicial decision that
restricts the use of personal data within it. If you choose to store and process the information, you will be a
Data
Controller under UK data protection law. You need to satisfy yourself that you have a legal basis and valid
purpose for processing the personal data.
This statement should describe the purpose for your re-use of Find Case Law records and
summarises including:
</p>
<p>For the avoidance of doubt:</p>
<ul>
<li>the licence we issue will not be a data sharing agreement for personal data; and</li>
<li>the licence we issue will not be a processing agreement for personal data.</li>
<li>anticipated outcomes</li>
<li>individuals or communities served</li>
<li>methodology or activities used to analyse the records</li>
</ul>
<h3>What is the purpose of the questions?</h3>
<p>The questions in this form will help The National Archives understand how you intend to re-use the information.</p>
<p>
Court Judgments and Tribunal Decisions contain sensitive information. Your answers to the questions will help
us to understand how you will re-use the information. They will also help you to understand your obligations.
We are using the “five safes” framework to group the questions.
Details of your organisation and the public statement you submit as part of your application may be
published in the future.
</p>
<ol>
<li>Safe people</li>
<li>Safe projects</li>
<li>Safe data</li>
<li>Safe settings</li>
<li>Safe outputs</li>
</ol>
<p>You should answer the questions as fully as possible.</p>
<h3>What will The National Archives do with the information?</h3>
<h3>4. Read the 9 principles</h3>
<p>
The National Archives is licensing the information in accordance with its obligations under the Re-use of
Public Sector Information Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/1415).
There are 9 principles that have been established by the Ministry of Justice that may be relevant to
our decision about whether to grant a licence. Please be prepared to give details of any
considerations you have made in relation to these principles.
</p>
<p>We will keep a record of your application.</p>
<p>The 9 principles are:</p>
<ol>
<li>Dignity of the court</li>
<li>Independence of the court</li>
<li>Appropriate scrutiny</li>
<li>Anti-discriminatory harm</li>
<li>Anti Bias</li>
<li>Personal Privacy</li>
<li>Algorithmic transparency</li>
<li>Accurate data representation</li>
</ol>
<p>
We will consider whether the purpose of your re-use is likely to jeopardise the proper administration of
justice. We may ask you for some additional information or to submit a revised application form. We may
consult the Ministry of Justice, including any advisory body or group it establishes from time to time.
<b>Important Note:</b> Please answer all questions in the application form. Please do not include any
sensitive or financial information as part of your application. There will be the opportunity to leave
further comments at the end of the application.
