Hi Jonny! No, the date of a decision's posting on CanLII is not publicly visible but the majority of new decisions are posted within a few days of a court or tribunal issuing the decision (though this is dependent on when said court or tribunal sends a certified copy of the decision to CanLII).
Legal research just got a serious upgrade. 🚀 We are thrilled to unveil the new myCanLII and a redesigned homepage experience! Following the launch of CanLII Search+, this is the next step in making your research more intuitive and organized. Read the full announcement here: zurl.co/P11FP
