Coverage and methodology
US coverage comes from federal district, bankruptcy and appellate court dockets; UK coverage from published court lists and judgments in England and Wales; Australian coverage from federal and state court registries that publish case information. Parapet monitors dockets daily and resolves party names to companies with an entity-matching model and analyst review. Criminal matters are excluded, and names of private individuals who appear as parties are redacted. Damages figures are taken only from public judgments and filings. History begins in 2005 for US federal courts and 2012 for the UK and Australia.
