This page will collate cases which can be used in training. Looking to include cases which demonstrate how to search by keyword/Act title or cases which are more unusual/funny. Also any cases which show the differences between databases (e.g. does one show the case as overruled but the other not?)

• Jones v Barnett (1984). Demonstrates the differences between Westlaw and Lexis. On Westlaw, it says the case is overruled by Di Palma v Victoria Square Property (1986) yet on Lexis, it is only given a blue "citation information only" and doesn't list Di Palma as a case citing Jones v Barnett. Lexis only lists Thatcher v CH Pearce & Sons (considered). Westlaw doesn't list the Thatcher case.
