Code of Ethics

The commitments that govern what we publish and how.

Accuracy and accountability

We hold ourselves to faithful reproduction of what the Courts decide. Where we err, we correct promptly and record the correction openly, as set out in our Corrections Policy.

Editorial independence

Our summaries are prepared without direction from litigants, law firms, advertisers or any third party. No one may pay to alter, favour, promote or suppress the reporting of a judgment. Advertising, where it exists, is never a consideration in editorial selection.

Respect for the record

Judgments are public documents and we publish them as issued. We do not add anonymisation beyond what the Court itself applied, and we do not remove masking the Court has applied. Where a judgment concerns a protected category of person, we follow the Court’s own treatment of identity.

Privacy and data protection

We handle all personal data in accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and our Privacy Notice. User data is stored in India. Reader activity is never sold, and is never used to influence which judgments we report.

Conflicts of interest

Anyone contributing editorial judgment to LexStreak recuses themselves from any matter in which they, their chambers or their clients have a personal or professional interest. Where a member of the editorial desk has appeared in a reported matter, that interest is disclosed on the case page.

Not legal advice

LexStreak is a legal-awareness and study product for advocates, students and legal professionals. Nothing we publish is legal advice or a substitute for reading the judgment in full.
