Uses of Related Documents

Looking up related documents can be especially useful if you happen to be looking at a topic or section or case about which there is not much other information.  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.
