History
ICLR was founded in 1865 by W. T. S. Daniel QC, and his first meeting took place on February 25 at Westminster Hall, then the home of the King's Bench Court, the Common Pleas Court and the Court of Chancery. This Council was established under the Companies Act 1862 in 1870.
Most work "as private companies without state aid or intervention," the Council "is not meant to generate profits except to the extent it is necessary to make it self-reliant." By working on this principle, the Council submitted a petition in 1966 to register as an official charity under section 4 of the Charity Act of 1960. After the denial by the Charity Commission, the Council appealed to section 5 (3) of the 1960 Act, awarded by Justice Foster in the High Court Chancery Division. On appeal filed by Inland Revenue to the Court of Appeals, which is a joint defendant with the Attorney General, it was held that "the Council is established for the exclusive purposes of charity because its purpose is to further develop and administer the law and to make it known or accessible to all members of the community , which is a useful destination for public and public utilities. "In 1970, later, ICLR successfully registered as a charity in England and Wales.
Currently led by Richard Fleck CBE, the ICLR Council consists of members nominated by each Court and by the General Council Bar, and based on Chancery Lane, London.

Purpose and procedure
According to the memorandum of association of companies, ICLR was established with the following main objectives:
Preparation and publication, in convenient form, at a moderate price, and under professional control, of the [Court] Court Decision Report on the Court of Appeal and Court of Appeal in England and Wales.
The ICLR also has a set of criteria for legal reporting, originally proposed by Nathaniel Lindley (who later became Master of the Rolls and then Lord of Appeal), who said that care must be taken to exclude from reports of cases that passed without discussion and no value as a precedent, and those who substantially repeat previous reports are added to the following list of valuable (and therefore reportable) categories:
- All cases that introduce, or appear to introduce, a new principle or a new rule.
- All cases that materially alter the principles or rules that exist.
- All cases completed, or materially tended to be resolved, questions that form the basis of legal doubt.
- All cases which for some reason are particularly instructive.
Publications
The main series of reports published by ICLR is The Law Reports, which the Board maintains is "the 'most authoritative report' and should always be 'quoted in preference if there is a choice'." The series is divided into four main sub-series:
- Legal Reports, Appeal (AC), which includes the decision of the House of Lords (and, since 2005, the Supreme Court), Privy Council and Court of Appeal - beginning in 1866 as Laws Reports, English & The Irish appeal, replaced in 1875 and redesigned in 1891;
- The Legal Report, Chancery Division (Ch), which includes the decision of the Chancery Division of the High Court - began in 1865 as the Legal Report, the Chancel Appeal Case, renamed in 1875 and redesigned in 1890;
- The Legal Report, Family Division (Fam), which includes the decision of the High Court Family Division - began in 1865 as the Legal Report, Probate & amp; Case Divorce, renamed Law Report, Probate, Divorce & amp; Admiralty Division in 1875, renamed Law Laws, Probate in 1891 and renamed in 1972; and
- The Legal Report, Queen's Bench (QB), which included the decision of the Queen's Bureau Division at the High Court - began in 1865, renamed Law Laws, Queen's Bench Division in 1875, renamed in 1891, renamed Law Laws, King's Bench in 1901 and renamed in 1952.
Additional reports published by ICLR including The Weekly Law Reports (W.L.R.), began in 1953 and include what the ICLR describes as "truly important cases, either developing the law in a certain way or introducing new legal points"; The Industrial Case Report (ICR), commencing in 1975 and covering employment law cases heard at the House of Lords, Court of Appeals, the Court of Appeal, the Court of Labor Applications and the European Court, as well as the "special interest cases" of the Advisory Council, Court of Appeals and labor courts; The Business Law Report (Bus L.R.), commenced in 2007 and includes corporate, commercial and intellectual property laws; and Public and Third Sector Law Reports (PTSR), beginning in 2009 and covering issues such as adoption, charity, ecclesiastical law, education, environmental law, health law, housing, human rights, local government, public health law and welfare social.
