This page includes summaries of decisions decided between May 2009 and December 2012. Decision summaries from May 2009 to April 2012 were compiled by month, with summaries from May 2012 to December 2012 complied by week. For decisions decided from January 2013 to the present, please visit our main Court Decisions page, or use the search tools on the right hand side of this page.
All decisions are presented both chronologically, based on the date of issuance, and topically. To facilitate their review, each decision is broken down by exemption or procedural element. Although we have designed these summaries to reflect the key aspects of each decision, by their nature these are summaries only, and such things as internal citations and quotations have been omitted. Our goal is to provide readers with an overview of the cases as they are decided during the year, but for a complete understanding of any given case readers are, of course, encouraged to read it in its entirety.
