Plain-language glossary

What is a neutral citation?

It is the court's official reference number for a judgment, written like [2026] KESC 9 (KLR). Think of it as the judgment's ID — you can use it to find the case anywhere, in any database.

What does “bottom line” mean?

In each brief, the bottom line is the whole judgment in one plain sentence — what the court decided, without legal jargon.

What is “treatment”?

How later courts have regarded a case: followed, applied, distinguished, doubted or overruled. Check treatment before you rely on a case.
