Introducing Judict: The go-to database for EU Financial Regulatory Law

The data.europa.eu datasets are used by individuals, businesses, and governmental portals. Judict is one example; a database with more than 700 legal acts and more than 61,000 analysed documents in EU Financial Law. Judict provides a comprehensive database on EU Financial Regulatory Law, containing all Regulations and Directives in the areas of funds, capital markets, banking and insurance, as well as all documents from the European and National supervisory authorities.  

The service is designed to promote understanding and engagement with the judiciary by making court decisions searchable, comparable, and accessible. By leveraging natural language processing, the database updates itself daily through automated processes. Judict intuitive interface allows users to filter decisions by country, legal area, or specific case details, democratising access to justice data. Users can also freely access the Captial Requirements Regulation (CRR) Tool to easily find all documents that are based on the CRR. 

The database is enhanced by the use of open data, particularly from data.europa.eu datasets. As quoted by Max Schoen, managing director of Judict: “Judict uses the datasets to provide its users with a well-structured, up-to-date and complete database on EU Financial Regulatory Law, including all Regulations and Directives as well as related documents in the areas of funds, capital markets, banking and insurance law.” Examples of datasets that are used by Judict are the Financial Instruments Reference Data System (FIRDS), Registered and certified credit rating agencies, and the List of Common Equity Tier 1 (CET 1) instruments.   

These examples show that open data can fuel tools that support legal innovation and civic empowerment. Discover the legal database yourself and stay tuned for more open data news.
