About the project

Open-source package with Belgian legal reference data for legal software, as JSON and CSV with typed lookups for TypeScript and Python. It covers every court with its registries' contacts, the judicial cantons and arrondissements, the municipalities, postal codes and police zones, the legal and commercial interest rates since 1970 and the public holidays, and answers questions such as which justice of the peace has jurisdiction over an address. Every record names its official source, and the data is rebuilt from those sources automatically. The explorer built on the package shows every court, canton, municipality and postal code in 13 languages. The code is MIT-licensed and the data CC BY 4.0.
