Citator — is it still good law?

Before you rely on a case, know whether it has been overturned.

The Citator scans CanLII and the web for negative treatment — overruled, reversed, quashed, distinguished, not followed — and flags the risk before you build an argument on a case that no longer stands.

Negative-treatment scan

Sage searches for subsequent treatment and classifies each case: no negative treatment found, caution, or negative treatment found.

Honest about its limits

It is an AI-assisted scan, clearly labelled — always confirm in an authoritative citator (Lexis/Westlaw) before relying.

Built into research

Ask Sage “is this still good law?” in any case and it checks before you cite.

The outcome

Never file a case that stopped being good law a year ago.
