FIND OUT MOREPartner Simon Fawell comments on open data on court decisions, as France is anonymising their justice system whilst England is opting for transparency. Simon was featured in Décideurs Juridiques, 26 September 2025, and the article can be found here.
In Paris, a working group is proposing to anonymise the names of magistrates, lawyers and companies or individuals involved in legal proceedings, due to threats made against judges and questions about their objectivity. In England, however, a pilot project aims to increase the dissemination of documents used in legal proceedings to ensure greater transparency.
According to Simon Fawell, a partner at Signature Litigation, there are no major changes. He explains that civil procedure already provides for the disclosure of documents cited or read in open court. This pilot project modifies the timeframes and facilitates access. Anyone wishing to obtain summaries of arguments, written pleadings, witness statements or expert testimony will no longer need to apply to the court, as these documents will be public by default. This applies to any document deemed ‘essential to understanding the case’, such as a contract, for example.
