authority_documents_for_rulingGiven 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. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
estonian_rulings_citing_eu_lawGiven 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. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
eu_actFetch 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. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
eu_law_cited_by_rulingGiven 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. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
eu_law_searchSearch 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. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
fetchRetrieve 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, much shorter than a whole act). Returns Markdown plus the canonical lahend.ee URL. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
get_law_sectionReturn 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'. Returns only that paragraph, not the whole act. Text comes from the act's current redaktsioon. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
law_versionsList 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. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
list_categoriesAll 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. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
list_courtsAll Estonian courts that have published decisions, each with its ruling count. Use a court name as the `court` filter in `search_rulings`. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
most_cited_eu_lawRanked 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. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
most_cited_sectionsThe 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. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
recent_rulingsThe newest published rulings (by decision date), across all courts and areas of law. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
rulings_by_companyGiven 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. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
rulings_citing_sectionGiven 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. Shows how the courts have applied a provision (e.g. KarS § 199), which the statute text alone does not. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
searchFull-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. Covers statutes and case law in one query. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
search_law_sectionsFull-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`. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
search_lawsFind 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. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
search_rulingsFull-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. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
sections_cited_by_rulingGiven 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. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
