One of the most helpful sites, providing free transcripts and lots of other useful information, is the British and Irish Legal Information Institute.

Acts of Parliament and Statutory Instruments (recent ones anyway) are available at UK Legislation and there is now a more comprehensive database of statutes, available from 20th December 2006, at The UK Statute Law Database.

The House of Lords site has the transcripts of its judgments before the new Supreme Court came into existence. The Court Service now seems to have abandoned its database of recent judgments, preferring to redirect people to BAILII (see above).  For a more comprehensive archive of Court of Appeal cases and some High Court cases too, go to the Casetrack site - but you may have to pay. Summaries of decisions can be found at the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting.

There is a separate Scottish Courts website.

The Health and Safety Executive is a useful source of material about hazards at work. The NHS Litigation Authority offers valuable information directed at healthcare professionals and at the general public, about how litigation against hospitals and clinicians is dealt with.
