You name the firm. We read what actually happened.
Three checks run against every name on your watchlist, on a schedule you set. Nothing here is inferred from a headline or a category flag — every classification traces back to the judgment text itself.
The pipeline, in full
Three checks, in order
You name the entities
Firms and individuals you underwrite or renew cover for — added or removed as your book changes. This isn't continuous bulk crawling; it's a periodic check against a list you control.
Two sources, checked separately
Companies House for status changes (dissolution, insolvency, name change) via the official live API, and Find Case Law for new judgments naming the entity as a defendant — not any mention in passing.
The judgment is read in full
Any judgment found is read end to end and classified by what actually happened, not by the fact that a claim exists.
Delivery
Report by default, API on request
Every result is delivered as a periodic report, the way it's shown on the sample report page. API access — pulling results directly into your own systems — is available for early subscribers who ask for it; it isn't a self-serve public API with open documentation, in keeping with the restricted-access model the rest of this page describes.
Step 03, expanded
What "classified" means
Every judgment lands in one of these categories — the same ones shown on the two real examples on the home page.
- Struck out / abuse of process
- The claim was dismissed procedurally before the substance was heard — often with a time-bar or restraint order attached.
- Dismissed on the merits
- The claim was heard in full and the court found no breach of duty by the defendant.
- Liability finding
- The court found the defendant liable — the one outcome a bare "claim exists" flag and an actual loss have in common.
- Live dispute
- Proceedings are ongoing and no judgment has been handed down yet — reported as open, not resolved either way.
- Settled, no admission
- The parties settled before judgment; no court finding was made on the underlying allegation.
Scope
What this isn't
Not a credit-monitoring replacement. CoCredo, Experian, Company Watch and Lightbulb Credit already do CCJ and credit-event flagging well, from as little as £40/month. UK Register Monitor doesn't duplicate that — it fills the one gap those registers structurally can't: what a judgment actually says, not just that one exists.
Not a public search tool. This is a restricted-access subscription feed for a small number of professional subscribers. Judgment text and extracted data aren't republished publicly — every result links back to the canonical page on Find Case Law.
Not legal advice. Classification is a research aid for pricing and renewal decisions, not a substitute for legal review of the underlying judgment.
Data handling
What we commit to
- Records are fetched at the point of use, not cached indefinitely.
- Classifier output is spot-checked manually before delivery.
- Dataset coverage limits are stated alongside every result — what was checked, and what wasn't.
- Party names in judgments are processed on a legitimate-interests basis under UK GDPR. This is not a data-sharing or data-processing agreement — your own compliance for how you use the output remains your responsibility.
- Licensed under Find Case Law's Open Justice Licence — 5-year re-use licence, granted 16 Sep 2026, TNA ref CAS-347178-Q0M6J2.
