Is there a way to look up results of a case in the United Kingom just by having the case number?
<p>I recently found a case on law360 that I want to know the outcome of.
In the article, they mentioned the following information:</p>
<ul>
<li>case number (HT-2021-000213)</li>
<li>High Court of Justice of England and Wales</li>
</ul>
<p>I tried the search on <a href="http://www.judiciary.uk/court/high-court" rel="nofollow noreferrer">www.judiciary.uk/court/high-court</a>, but without success.
How do lawyers usually get this information when it could be relevant for a new case?</p>

<p>That usually isn't the only information you have.</p>
<p>For example, when I searched for HT-2021-000213 on <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=HT-2021-000213" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Google</a> I found <a href="https://www.law360.com/articles/1393161" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this law360 article</a>, which I guess might be the same as the one you have read. It's behind a paywall, but I can access enough of the article to see this text:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The case is Twitch Interactive Inc. v. Viewers Labs Ltd. and others,
case number HT-2021-000213, in the High Court of Justice of England</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Using the party names (e.g. Twitch Interactive v Viewers Labs), it is possible to search most <em>reported</em> cases using a legal database such as Westlaw or Lexis (note that these are subscription based services). Many cases (including many <em>unreported</em> cases) also appear on <a href="https://www.bailii.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Bailii</a>, which is free.</p>
<p>You can also call the court, give the case reference number, and ask for more information e.g. the party names, whether the case has been decided, the outcome, a copy of the transcript (probably for a fee).</p>

<p>In addition to JBentley's answer, and for general interest, LawSE has a Meta <a href="https://law.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/261/online-legal-references">community wiki</a> faq which lists a number of free and paywall sites - including <a href="https://www.casemine.com/judgments/uk?locale=en_UK" rel="nofollow noreferrer">casemine</a>.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, there is no trace of the judgement sought by the OP - possibly because the citation indicates the action was brought in 2021 and the case has not yet been finalised.</p>
