Project Update 9 – Scanning and Uploading Bound Unreported Judgments to NZLII

This project continues.

Sue, Wendy and Beth are doing an amazing job scanning, preparing and uploading decisions from the former Employment Tribunal (now the Employment Relations Authority) to NZLII.

We have just uploaded our 2000th decision here: http://www.nzlii.org/nz/cases/NZEmpT/

We estimate that there will be about 20,000 decisions once we finish uploading these. This will make the Employment Tribunals  one of the larger NZLII databases. If you are interested the top three are (in order) High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court.

Adding material to NZLII makes legal decisions more accessible to our students, staff and the NZ legal community. It also means we can withdraw the volumes of these which were on Level 7 (they’re currently in our workroom).

For those who are keeping track we started with 588 volumes on Level 7 and now only have 129 volumes to go!
