Case law searched on your facts, not on your words

Ask for authority and Frank now frames the question a decision would frame, from the file in front of it, and orders what it finds by whose way it went.

What it does

Authority is not found by matching words. A decision that settles your point was written about someone else's facts, in the Commission's language, years before you asked - so the phrase you would use to ask about it is rarely the phrase it uses.

Frank builds the search the way a practitioner would: the issue as a decision would frame it, the holdings a finding would carry, and the side whose position the cases must support. Where documents are on the file, the facts they establish frame the question.

Refining the search continues it. "We are specifically looking for labour hire cases" narrows what is already on the table instead of starting again.

What changes for you

The list lands on the point. A labour hire no-dismissal question returns the decisions that decide it, in front of the ones that merely mention it.

Every row says what it held. The finding on record for each decision, and whose way it went.

Opening a decision leads with what it held. The finding on record for that decision comes first, and the discussion is written under it.
