Create Case Alert feature on Westlaw UK

Today I learnt about the useful Create Case Alert feature on Westlaw UK.

I’m not sure if this is a new feature or if it has somehow passed me by all this time. If you want to be alerted to changes made to the case you are looking at, click on “Create Case Alert” at the top right of the screen. You will be presented with the options to be alerted by email if:

·          the case status changes

·          an appeal has been heard

·          a different case has been heard between the same parties

·          it is cited in another case

·          it is referred to in a journal article

You can do this from the Case Analysis Document, full-text case, or Graphical History screen. Very useful.
