`get_uk_judgment`

Pack: uk-caselaw · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/get_uk_judgment for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Fetch the FULL TEXT of a UK judgment from its neutral citation (“[2023] UKSC 42”, “[2026] EWHC 1996 (Comm)”) or its Find Case Law identifier. Returns the judgment text along with the case name, court, date and citation, so a quoted passage or a cited authority can actually be checked against what the court wrote rather than taken on trust. Text is long; use max_chars to bound it.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`citation`	string	yes	Neutral citation, e.g. “[2023] UKSC 42”, or a Find Case Law identifier like “uksc/2023/42”.
`max_chars`	number	no	Maximum characters of judgment text to return (default 40000). The response says whether it was truncated.
