The DELIS* Legislation Information Project

The DELIS* (direct enquiry law information system) Project was established in 2002 and is the current governing R&D project. This Project realises a complete library (database) of the multi-language law test of international and European laws and the national and local laws of 136 countries worldwide, as well as the associated detailed practical activity-specific text. It also puts in place the technology to make this information available to users at affordable prices via client internet systems.

R & D Innovation Status

Cardinal’s DELIS Project complies with the UK Government’s guidelines for R&D tax credits – it falls within the category of activity that is a ‘project that seeks (has sought) to achieve an advance in science or technology’ (per the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry guidelines dated 5 March 2004), and results in a new and appreciably improved service and product line with its own market on a worldwide scale. In addition, the project qualifies for UK Government DTI Innovation Grant funding.
