More information (continued)
The cases summarised on the site can be listed by date of Judgment or by name of Claimant or by name of Defendant Click here to view a listing of cases, in alphabetic order by name of Claimant.
A search facility is provided, which allows all the information held on all the cases to be searched for a particular name, word or phrase. However, because some upper limb disorders have a variety of names and spellings e.g. Lateral Epicondylitis is often referred to as tennis elbow, the terms used for the most commonly encountered conditions have been standardised in a glossary of Popular search terms.

The information currently available on this site has been gathered from a wide variety of sources and verified where possible against a transcript of the Judgment. However, a transcript of a Judgment more often than not omits some of the information which ideally should be included in a case summary and there are sometimes also errors in the spelling of names. An Amend or add to this case facility has therefore been provided which allows users to submit further details about a case.
A Comments facility has been provided, which allows users to send in any observations on the web site or on particular cases.
It is believed that there are many other Court Judgments in this type of claim which have yet to be identified. Users are invited to send in details of cases which were decided on the basis of evidence heard in Court by completing a Case Report Form. Case report forms can be downloaded or completed on-line.
N.B. We are unable to provide copies of transcripts of Judgments.
