Reference texts

The library gathers conventions, directives, recommendations, national transposition laws, models and guides. Each text has a sheet: date, version, language, link with other texts, state of transposition. A search engine allows filtering by State, theme and date.

The case law lists the decisions of national courts and of the Arbitral Tribunal applying these texts, with a summary, the points of law and references. Alerts, finally, warn by email of any amendment, the opening of a consultation or the publication of an important decision.

A team of lawyers feeds and checks the resources every day. Texts are indexed by theme (diligence, circulation, digital, taxation…), by article and by State. Decisions are anonymised where the law requires it.

The aim is that a lawyer can, within minutes, find the texts applicable to a given situation, how they have been interpreted and the developments announced.

Free access to texts is an OIMAP principle: no one should be able to plead ignorance of the rule for want of being able to find it. The library is therefore free, searchable without registration and reusable under an open licence.

Partnerships with universities and bar associations make it possible to enrich the database regularly and to supplement it with commentary. Contributions from the legal community are welcome.
