The Information Note contains legal summaries of the cases examined during the month in question which the Registry considers to be
of particular interest. The summaries are drafted by lawyers under the authority of the Jurisconsult and are not binding on the Court.
They are normally drafted in the language of the case concerned. The translation of the legal summaries into the other official language
can be accessed directly through hyperlinks in the Note. These hyperlinks lead to the HUDOC database, which is regularly updated with
new translations.
An annual index provides an overview of all the judgments and decisions summarised in each calendar year, filtered by Convention
Articles and relevant keywords. To facilitate access to materials in the Information Notes, a running cumulative index will be updated
online with each new edition of the Note.
The electronic versions of the Note and the index may be downloaded at http://www.echr.coe.int/NoteInformation/en. Legal summaries
published in the Case-law Information Notes are also available in HUDOC under the filter and links “Legal Summaries”.
The HUDOC database is available free-of-charge through the Court’s Internet site (http://hudoc.echr.coe.int). It provides access to the
case-law of the European Court of Human Rights (Grand Chamber, Chamber and Committee judgments and decisions, communicated
cases, advisory opinions and legal summaries from the Case-Law Information Note) and of the former European Commission of Human
Rights (decisions and reports), and to the resolutions of the Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers.
