Terms and legal notice

What this site is, and what it is not

Who operates this site

Caseform AI Limited, Registered in Scotland, company number SC852128. Address: Registered office: D C Consulting, Dundee One River Court, 5 West Victoria Dock Road, Dundee, Scotland, DD1 3JT. Email: admin@caseform.ai.

Information, not legal advice

Every Witness gives general information about support for witnesses and argues for changes in public policy. It is not legal advice and must not be relied on as such. We are not a law firm. We do not act for anyone, conduct litigation or advise on individual cases. If you have received a summons, citation or witness order and are unsure what you must do, contact the person who sent it or speak to a solicitor.

We do not coach witnesses

The law does not allow anyone to train or coach a witness on their evidence. Nothing on this site tells you what to say in court, and nothing on it should be used that way.

Commercial interest

This site is operated by a commercial company that is developing two products, Witness Assist and Caseform AI. See the full disclosure. Content that refers to those products is a marketing communication and is labelled where it appears.

Not a charity, not official

Every Witness is not a charity and does not ask for donations. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Witness Service, Victim Support, Citizens Advice, HM Courts and Tribunals Service, the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service, the Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunals Service, any police force, any prosecution service or any government.

Accuracy

We check what we publish against original sources and show the date we checked. Law, statistics and services change. Use the links to confirm the current position before relying on anything here. Tell us about errors through corrections.

Other websites

We link to other organisations for your convenience. We do not control them and are not responsible for what they publish.

Using our material

You may quote from this site with attribution and a link. Material from government sources is reproduced under the Open Government Licence v3.0, and Parliamentary material under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0. Judgments are Crown copyright and reproduced under the Open Justice Licence.

Law

These terms are governed by the law of Scotland. If you are a consumer living elsewhere in the UK you may also bring proceedings in your home courts.
