The Defendants' breach of the Terms of Use was undertaken by the Defendants so that the Defendants, and each of them, could profit from the CanLII Works, which have been developed at significant cost and expense to CanLII.
CanLII argues that it conducts work on the publicly-accessible court records to make them more readable, including by adding hyperlinks and correcting errors.
The lawsuit claims that this constitutes protected copyrighted work, and that Caseway did not comply with a cease-and-desist letter sent last month over the bulk downloading.
Launched earlier this fall, Caseway aims to improve access to justice for non-lawyers and to make practicing law more efficient by providing enhanced legal research tools.
