Copyright in Court Judgments

Eastern Book Company is the company which publishes SCC, a reporter of Supreme Court judgments. Spectrum Business Support collates judgments from a number of legal reporters and makes them available on CDs (which they call Grand Jurix and sell for about 28000 INR — that’s the price they quoted to me a few months ago).In a case for violation of copyright filed by EBC against Spectrum Business Support Ltd., the Supreme Court ruled (in December 2007) that EBC holds a copyright in its own internal referencing of judgments, headnotes etc. although court judgments themselves are not copyrighted as Section 52(1)(q) of the Copyright Act also makes clear.
