Prepare smarter.
Predict with confidence.

Probatur gives UK solicitors and barristers a data-informed edge before they walk into court by combining individual judge profiling, AI-powered case law analysis, and real-time legal climate signals. Unlike generic research tools, we show how your specific judge has historically reasoned and applied precedent, so you walk in knowing not just the law, but how this judge reads it.

PROBATUR BRIEFING
Illustrative Sample
Assigned Judge
The Hon. Mr Justice Foxton
High Court, Commercial Court (KBD)
Appointed 2020 · Former commercial silk (Essex Court Chambers)
Outcome Probability
64% Claimant favoured
Illustrative figure · Probatur produces calibrated probabilities from analogous Commercial Court decisions.
Key Precedents
  • Yam Seng Pte Ltd v International Trade Corp Ltd [2013] EWHC 111 (QB)
    Leggatt J's foundational authority on the implied duty of good faith in relational contracts. Frequently invoked in commercial disputes turning on dealings between long-term counterparties.
  • Braganza v BP Shipping Ltd [2015] UKSC 17
    Supreme Court authority on the standard for reviewing contractual discretion. Adverse to the claimant if the defendant frames its decision-making within Braganza review parameters.
  • Times Travel (UK) Ltd v Pakistan International Airlines Corp [2021] UKSC 40
    Supreme Court restatement of the doctrine of lawful act economic duress. Likely to be raised where the claimant alleges pressure short of unlawful conduct.
Legal Climate
  • Appellate
    CA tightening on good-faith pleadingsHigh relevance
    Recent Court of Appeal decisions have narrowed Yam Seng-style implied terms to genuinely relational contracts. Expect the bench to probe whether the relationship qualifies before entertaining the argument.
  • Hansard
    Parliamentary scrutiny of contractual discretionMedium relevance
    Recent Lords debate on commercial fairness has revived attention on Braganza-style review. Judges have referenced the policy backdrop in obiter when assessing rationality of discretionary decisions.
  • Sector
    Law Commission consultation on remedies reformLow relevance
    Open consultation on damages quantification in commercial contract claims. Not yet binding, but shapes how counsel are framing loss arguments and how the bench is receiving them.
Highlights shown. The full briefing includes judge reasoning patterns, citation graphs, opposing-counsel exposure, and a 14-page case strategy breakdown.

Three layers of intelligence. One pre-hearing briefing.

Judge Intelligence

Every judge has a published history. Probatur builds a profile of how they actually reason: which arguments they accept, how they apply precedent, their procedural preferences, and their judicial philosophy. So you know not just what the law says, but how this judge is likely to read it.

Precedent Scanning

Our AI reads 500,000+ UK judgments the way your judge does. It surfaces the cases they have actually cited, the reasoning they have favoured, and the authorities opposing counsel will raise. Not generic keyword matches. Contextual, judge-specific ones.

Legal Climate

Courts don't operate in a vacuum. Probatur ingests live news, parliamentary activity, and legal sector commentary to capture the political and cultural environment shaping judicial decisions at the time of your hearing.
