Hi james27-ga :)

I haven't been able to locate a free online copy of the UK banking law
case Kpohraror v Woolwich Building Society 1996 however I have located
a UK based service which will supply you with a copy of the judgment
via email (in Word format or Rich Text format) for a fee of £30 + VAT.

The way the service works: 

1. You telephone a freephone number
2. You request the case law/judgment that you're after
3. The sales rep will take your details including email address and
credit card details
4. The sales rep will conduct the search and if the case law/judgment
is found, you will be emailed with a copy of it and charged £30+VAT
5. If they cannot find it, you will NOT be charged.

FYI - this supplier also has available a yearly subscription for this
service (i.e. unlimited case law searches online) for a fee of £444
per year plus VAT.

Would this information suffice as an answer?  

Kind regards
:) jem-ga

Hi again james27-ga :)

Just to re-confirm:

1. The freephone number mentioned in my first clarification is a UK
freephone number, not a US freephone number;
2. I wasn't able to confirm with the supplier that they had a copy of
the particular judgment that you're looking for as they would need to
take all of my personal details in order to carry out the search. 
It's extremely likely that they DO have a copy of the judgment as it
is a well known and widely reported case and;
3. You are only charged the £30+VAT if they supply you with the
judgment you requested.

Kind regards
jem-ga :)

That would suffice as an answer

Hi james27-ga :)

Many thanks for your confirmation.

As per my clarifications above, I am providing you with the details of
the UK supplier.

Their name is Butterworth's LexisNexis Direct and the service that you
are after is called their "CaseSearch" service.  Telephone 0800 00 77
77 (Mon - Fri 9am - 5pm).  You'll initially hear an automated choice
menu, just press "1" to speak with a service rep in order to proceed
with your request.

You can see a full listing of their online services (including
CaseSearch, currently billed at £444 + VAT) at:

http://www.butterworths.com/butterworths.asp

*Of particular note*, they offer a one week free trial of any of their
online services - telephone them direct on 0845 608 1188 to request a
free trial but be aware that you will need to provide your personal
contact details for their marketing database.

Once you've signed up for the trial, depending on which service you
are trialling, you can access it directly via their online system. 
For example, the log-in page for their CaseSearch service is found at:

http://login.butterworths.co.uk/formslogin.asp?http://wilmington.butterworths.co.uk/citator-0/citator.asp

If you do plan to take out a free trial, I would recommend that you
request the option to try several of their services during the trial
period.  For example, for case law research, you might find access to
their CaseSearch, All England Direct and LexisNexis Professional
services useful. I also confirmed with one of the service reps that
you do NOT have to be a registered company or business to trial their
services (i.e. you can register as an individual).  They will ask you
how and why you intend to use the service so that they can better
define what sort of trial they'll give you and you should also be
prepared for the follow-up marketing should you sign up for the actual
trial:)

Kind regards
jem-ga :)
