UK Legal Research with Lex API

This skill requires the Lex MCP server to be installed and enabled. The skill provides guidance on using the Lex tools effectively for UK legal research.

Prerequisites: Lex MCP Server

Check if Lex tools are available (e.g. search_legislation, search_caselaw). If not installed, refer the user to https://github.com/i-dot-ai/lex for setup instructions.

When to Use This Skill

Researching UK legislation (Acts, Statutory Instruments)
Finding court judgments and legal precedents
Searching for specific legal provisions or sections
Analysing how legislation has been amended over time
Grounding AI responses in authoritative UK legal sources

Available Tools

The Lex MCP server provides these tools:

Legislation Search

search_legislation - Semantic search across UK Acts and Statutory Instruments
search_legislation_sections - Search within specific provisions and sections
get_legislation_amendments - Find amendments to legislation

Case Law Search

search_caselaw - Semantic search across court judgments
search_caselaw_paragraphs - Search within case paragraphs
find_caselaw_references - Find cases referencing specific legislation

Search Best Practices

Be specific with queries - "employment tribunal unfair dismissal" works better than "employment law"
Use filters - Filter by year, court, or legislation type when possible
Combine searches - Search legislation first, then find related case law
Check amendments - Legislation may have been amended since enactment

Data Coverage

Legislation: 1267-present (complete from 1963)
Case Law: 2001-present
Sources: The National Archives, Find Case Law

Important Notes

This is an experimental service for research purposes
PDF-sourced legislation (pre-1963) uses LLM extraction - verify at source for critical accuracy
Rate limited to 60 requests/minute
