His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) is committed to supporting greater transparency of courts and tribunals data. We are seeking to engage with potential applicants for the new courts and tribunals non-exclusive third party data licence which will grant successful licence applicants permission to undertake computational analysis of information published by the Court and Tribunal Hearings Service (CaTH) (https://www.court-tribunal-hearings.service.gov.uk/). The information available under this licence will in time encompass all hearing lists for all courts and tribunals administered by HMCTS and registers of outcomes from the criminal courts. Other information may be made available in the future. The information will be available to successful licence applicants in a standard, machine-readable form through CaTH’s application programming interface (API). The purpose of this market engagement is to understand the views of potential applicants for the licence on topics including: 1. Other information that HMCTS should seek to prioritise and publish via CaTH; 2. The implications of HMCTS’s proposed retention terms for data provided under the licence; 3. Potential data re-use purposes 4. Restrictions on the use of the data 5. Security measures that licensees will have to have in place 6. Restrictions on where globally data can be processed We are interested in hearing from a range of organisations and individuals, including, but not limited to: journalists and the accredited news media; lawtech firms and legal publishers; research institutes and compliance or data analytics firms. The findings from this market engagement will help to inform the development of the licence and its payment model. This session will not cover the detail of the application process for a licence. We are aiming to share this detail in April 2026. Event Details HMCTS invites interested organisations to attend a virtual market engagement event on 04th March 2026 which will be delivered via MS Teams and take place 10:00 – 11:30 (UK). Agenda: - Introduction and purpose of the market engagement - An overview of the licence - What data would be shared under the licence and onwards re-use - Implications of proposed retention terms - Pricing Model - Next steps for further engagement Key questions to explore: - For what purpose would you seek to computationally re-use courts and tribunals listing and registers of outcomes data? - What functionality/capability/information would you like from the CaTH service beyond what is currently available? - What barriers (barring exemptions under data protection law) would HMCTS’s proposed retention terms place in being able to perform computational analysis for your proposed use case? - Would HMCTS’s proposed and future pricing model place unreasonable barriers that would prevent you/your organisation being able to reasonably afford a licence?
