An online database of the decisions delivered by the Danish Courts would support the principle of open justice. It would give the public easy and free access to court decisions and thus improve public knowledge of court rulings and procedures.
A project group appointed by the Danish Court Administration has therefore drafted a proposal for establishment of a public database of decisions.
The project group proposes that all rulings of the Supreme Court, the high courts and the Maritime and Commercial Court should be published in the database. This amounts to some 6000 decisions annually. Rulings in appellate cases must be published together with the previous judgments in the relevant case. In a subsequent phase all decisions by first instance courts should be included in the database.
Hopefully, the project group's efforts have produced the requisite basis for establishing the database. The establishment of the database currently awaits a clarification of a set of practical, legal and economic issues.
