lahend.ee — Estonian court decisions tools (20)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsauthority_documents_for_rulingFreeGiven a ruling id, return documents from Estonian public-authority document registers that name the same companies - procurement files, licences, correspondence, inspections. A court dispute and an authority's file about the same company are the two halves nobody normally sees together. Sourced from dokumendiregister.ee. This depends on the ruling having a company linked to it, which holds for about 19% of the corpus: parties are extracted from the decision text by registry code, and a judgment that names a company without its code yields no link. An empty list therefore means either no linked company or no matching documents - it is not evidence that no authority holds a file.
estonian_rulings_citing_eu_lawFreeGiven a CELEX (an act like '32016R0679', or a Court of Justice judgment like '62014CJ0362'), return the Estonian court decisions that cite it. This is the join no other source publishes: EUR-Lex knows the EU instrument, Riigi Teataja knows the Estonian decision, and nobody connects them.
eu_actFreeFetch an EU regulation or directive by CELEX (e.g. '32016R0679' for the GDPR), article by article, in Estonian. Also reports how many Estonian court decisions cite it and which articles they lean on - the part EUR-Lex cannot answer.
eu_law_cited_by_rulingFreeGiven an Estonian ruling id (from `search`), list the EU instruments it cites - regulations, directives and Court of Justice judgments - with the articles named where the decision names them.
eu_law_searchFreeSearch EU regulations and directives, and Court of Justice / European Court of Human Rights judgments, by Estonian title or case number. The corpus is Estonian-language throughout: 94% of the Court of Justice's output is translated into Estonian, and essentially nothing indexes it in Estonian. Returns ids usable with eu_law_fetch.
fetchFreeRetrieve the full text + metadata for any `id` returned by `search`. Handles all three kinds: `ruling:<n>` (a court decision with its linked companies), `law:<n>` (an act in its current redaktsioon, all paragraphs) and `section:<n>:<par>` (a single paragraph - prefer this over pulling a whole act). Returns Markdown plus the canonical lahend.ee URL.
get_law_sectionFreeReturn a single § of an Estonian act, addressed the way lawyers cite it: an abbreviation and a number, e.g. abbrev='KarS', paragrahv='199', or abbrev='TsMS', paragrahv='430'. This is the precise way to answer a legal question - pulling a whole act costs thousands of tokens and buries the answer. Text comes from the act's current redaktsioon.
law_versionsFreeList an act's redaktsioonid (consolidated versions) with their validity ranges, newest first. Use this to answer 'what did this say on date X' - Estonian law is amended constantly and the current text is often not the one that applied to the facts.
list_categoriesFreeAll areas of law (asja_kategooria) present in the corpus, each with its ruling count. Use a category as the `category` filter in `search_rulings`. These counts do NOT sum to the corpus size: about 26% of rulings carry no category, so they appear in `list_courts` totals and in unfiltered search but in no category here. Filtering by category silently excludes them.
list_courtsFreeAll Estonian courts that have published decisions, each with its ruling count. Use a court name as the `court` filter in `search_rulings`.
most_cited_eu_lawFreeRanked by how many Estonian decisions cite them. A good starting point for 'which EU law actually matters in Estonian practice' - the answer is concentrated in consumer protection, jurisdiction, asylum and agriculture rather than spread evenly.
most_cited_sectionsFreeThe statute paragraphs cited by the most court decisions, ranked. A map of where Estonian litigation actually happens, and a good starting point when exploring an unfamiliar area.
recent_rulingsFreeThe newest published rulings (by decision date), across all courts and areas of law.
rulings_by_companyFreeGiven an 8-digit Estonian registry code (registrikood), return every court decision that names that company, with its role (claimant/defendant/etc.) and the other parties. This company↔case-law join is unique to lahend.ee. Find a registry code via nimistu.ee or the nimistu MCP.
rulings_citing_sectionFreeGiven an act abbreviation and a §, return the court decisions that actually cite it, newest first, with a total count. Built from 3.05M citations extracted from the decision texts themselves. This answers 'how have the courts applied KarS § 199' - the question statute text alone cannot answer, and the reason to use lahend.ee over reading Riigi Teataja.
searchFreeFull-text search across Estonian LAW - both court decisions (civil, administrative and criminal rulings) and legislation (acts and their individual paragraphs), from Riigi Teataja, indexed by lahend.ee. Inflection-tolerant; wrap a phrase in "quotes" for an exact match. Every result carries a stable typed `id` - `ruling:<n>`, `law:<n>` or `section:<n>:<par>` - which `fetch` resolves. Use this when you need the legal position on something and do not yet know whether the answer is in a statute or in case law.
search_law_sectionsFreeFull-text search across the paragraphs of every in-force Estonian act (4M+ sections). Answers 'which provision governs X' directly, returning the paragraphs themselves rather than acts you then have to read. Each hit carries a `section:` id for `fetch`.
search_lawsFreeFind Estonian acts by title or abbreviation (KarS, TsMS, VÕS…). Returns each act with a `law:` id for `fetch`, its type, issuer and whether it is still in force. Use get_law_section when you already know the paragraph you want.
search_rulingsFreeFull-text ruling search with optional filters: court name, case type (civil/administrative/criminal), area of law (asja_kategooria) and a decision-date range. Returns a page of rulings with a total count. Use `list_courts` / `list_categories` to discover valid filter values. Two coverage limits worth knowing, because both are silent: - `companies` is populated on about 19% of rulings. Parties are extracted from the decision text by registry code, and many judgments name a company without ever stating its code. An EMPTY array means no code was found in the text, NOT that no company was involved. - About 26% of rulings carry no `asja_kategooria` at all, so filtering by `category` silently excludes them. Omit the filter to search the whole corpus.
sections_cited_by_rulingFreeGiven a ruling id (from `search`), list the statute paragraphs it cites, with the lõiked named and each § resolved to its act. Use it to see the legal basis of a decision without reading the whole judgment, then `fetch` a `section:` id for the provision text.

What the publisher says
From the lahend.ee — Estonian court decisions repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
lahend.ee MCP server
Free, no-API-key MCP server for Estonian law: court decisions, legislation paragraph by paragraph, and EU law in Estonian - with the citation index that links them to each other.
https://lahend.ee/api/lahend-mcp/mcp (streamable HTTP)
https://lahend.ee/api/lahend-mcp/sse (SSE)No key, no sign-up, no rate limit worth mentioning. Data comes from Riigi Teataja, EUR-Lex and HUDOC; company links come from the Estonian Business Register via nimistu.ee.
What it can do
Legislation is served in full, not just case law - each paragraph is addressable on its own, with every ruling that has ever cited it. That link is the point of the server: 3.05 million citations extracted from the decision texts, so you can ask what a statute means in practice rather than what it says.
The corpus is 564,503 rulings. Citations were extracted from 324,968 of them - the rest either cite no statute or state it in a form the extractor does not resolve. Two further coverage limits are worth knowing before you rely on a negative result:
code found in the decision text, and many judgments name a company without ever stating its code. An empty companies array means no code was found - not that no company was involved.
- Companies are linked on ~19% of rulings. Parties are matched by registry
category silently excludes them; list_categories reports the uncategorised count alongside the per-category totals.
