What problem does it solve?

uk-citation-verification prevents unnoticed hallucinated or incorrect UK legal authorities by checking that every cited UK case exists and that the citation identity (case name, citation number, paragraph references, and quoted text) matches a retrievable public authority.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • UK authority verification against public sources: resolves cited neutral citations by checking Find Case Law first and BAILII next, then official court/tribunal pages when needed.
  • Citation integrity checks: detects case-name mismatches, missing paragraph references, and quotation mismatches by comparing draft text to retrieved judgment text.
  • Evidence-backed reporting for accountability: outputs a structured status table that lists what was checked, what sources were searched, and what remains unresolved without guessing.

Quick Start
