Way cooooool!You know how a search in Austlii for a
defined term (like party's name or "balance of convenience") brings up those
strange URLs with % and "search" etc. and, worse, every occurrence of the term
in the text of the case is Bold and surrounded by annoying arrows? Wouldn't it
be cool if you could click a button and you could get a plain, vanilla display
that you could print off and hand up in court?
You
can!
Matt Bromley here at the Bar has put me on to this post by Simon Evans modifying a script written by Greg Restall at the University of Melbourne. Click on this link, then (1) scroll down to "clean up Austlii search" (2) click on that link and hold your mouse button down (don't let go!), (3) then drag the whole link up to your bookmarks bar. Voila! It's done. If your browser doesn't support bookmarks, it's time you got a new browser! Works in Firefox and Safari, that I know of. James McDougall, also here at the Bar, has pointed out to me that many more recent cases published on Austlii come with a "Download" button at the top of the first page which, if clicked, then displays (and prints out) the case in "clean", paginated form using "rtf". This works in IE and Firefox (where austlii has the functionality). Posted: Thursday - 26 May, 2005 at 10:10 AM | |
