It may be a topic that is an emerging area, there may be little or no commentary, or it may be a case from an inferior Court that has not been summarised.
Checking out related documents gives you an overview of other places in the Brookers Online collection where mention has been made of the document you’re looking at, and therefore a better idea of other areas you can continue your research.
