    Go to<https://oxfordbrookes.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://plus.lexis.com/uk?identityprofileid=GD46SJ57559>
    Click on the dropdown arrow on the right of the long search box
    Choose "Cases"
    Type either the name of a case or its citation in the box
    Tip! You can search for a case by either its name or its citation. Sometimes there's variation in how the names of cases are written, particuarly if one of the parties has a long name. This means you may not find it if you search for it by its name. [Learn more about case citations here](https://radar.brookes.ac.uk/radar/file/559c4f41-a60a-409c-9905-ff512a24537d/1/Using%20law%20reports.pdf).
    Click on the magnifying glass to run your search.
    Click on the citation of a case to read the full law report text. If you have several citations (there are two in this example), then just click on the first one.
    Down the right of the case, you will see some "related documents". Click on the links here to see: cases that are linked to your case, commentary in Halsbury's Laws of England and some journal articles that discuss your case.
    If you want, click on the download icon to save the case to your computer
    Alternatively, from the search results page you can click on the "overview" link
    This will give you a short summary of the facts of the case. It will show you newer cases that refer to your case, and also older cases that your case made reference to.
