Legal decision website CanLII files lawsuit against B.C. company for alleged copyright breach

The operators of CanLII, a popular website that publishes court and regulatory decisions across Canada, are suing a North Vancouver businessman for allegedly scraping its database to create a legal research tool using artificial intelligence software.

“Although the Caseway Platform does not disclose the source of its catalogue of legal documents on the face of its website, the Defendants have suggested in public articles and promotional materials that the Caseway Platform uses the CanLII Works,” the claim states. Vigier has not responded to the notice of claim in B.C. Supreme Court but provided a statement to Glacier Media, which reads, in part: “The information Caseway accesses is publicly available, and no proprietary systems or exclusive content belonging to CanLII have been affected. Additionally, CanLII’s user base and data integrity remain intact, with no evidence of financial loss, operational disruption, or diminished access.
