The Canadian Legal Information Institute (CanLII), a non-profit that publishes judges’ rulings for free public use, said it has settled its lawsuit against Caseway, which is now registered in Vancouver and Dublin, Ireland. Neither CanLII nor Caseway would disclose the terms of the settlement. CanLII said that the two firms will be moving forward “independently.” (The Logic)

Talking point: While this lawsuit has been resolved, it’s unlikely to be the last of its kind, as publishers try to determine how much access they should give AI tools to their work. CanLII, which is funded by lawyers’ dues to provincial and territorial law societies, had sued Caseway claiming the startup was using CanLII’s legal database for “unjust enrichment” by distributing “derivative work.” CanLII told the court that it has long eschewed commercial contracts in favour of “open access.” Caseway denied the allegations that it had violated the terms of use.
