“In complex cases there are often hundreds of potentially relevant sources. Ex Ante shows the relevant passages straight away, which saves an enormous amount of time.”
Koen Daniëlssenior adviser, CDRO ConsultingQuestions about economic law in Ex Ante
Which economic law sources does Ex Ante search?
The case law of the enterprise courts, the courts of appeal and the Court of Cassation, the Code of Economic Law, the parliamentary preparatory works and legal literature.
Can I search only the judgments of the enterprise courts?
Yes. You filter by institution and refine by date and language. With Exclude party arguments switched on, Ex Ante searches only the assessment by the court, not the parties' arguments.
How do I find case law on an article of the Code of Economic Law?
Type the article and the code, for example "article VI.91/3 CEL". Ex Ante shows the text of the article and the case law and legal literature that apply it, each opened at the passage where the article is discussed.
Can I search in plain language, without knowing the exact terms?
Yes. Ex Ante searches by meaning. A question like "my supplier threatens to stop deliveries if I don't accept his new prices" also finds decisions on abuse of economic dependence and unilateral changes to terms.
Can I also find legal literature on economic law?
Yes. Ex Ante searches journal articles, handbooks and doctoral theses on economic law, alongside the case law and legislation. For a judgment, you also find the commentary published on it.
