Thanks all.

As expected: a can of worms.
But I remember listening to some frustrated rants from various Francises
(Francii?) a few years ago and suspect that it's a little less awful
than it used to be...

OK, so for the point of view of linking to court cases referenced in a
news article, once a decision has been made, the bailii.org page is the
one. Before then... there's nothing tangible to link to.

Seems like there'd be room for a nice little web app that:
1) creates a permanent page for each case as soon as it's unique number
and title appears anywhere on a .gov.uk site

Two items of information which don't exist until after the case has been heard!

Out of interest, does Courtel receive any information beyond the (now)
public daily court schedules? I couldn't really tell...

Yes, they also get the "Warned list", which is effectively the list of cases on standby that may be called into court if there's a spare slot. Warned lists are published weekly, but may be amended daily. They are not available to the general public.
