Riigikohtu lahendid

Riigikohtu lahendid asja numbri, kuupäeva, menetlusliigi või teksti järgi.

Riigikohtu lahendite otsing (riigikohus.ee ja rikos.rik.ee) leiab lahendeid asja numbri, kuupäeva, menetlusliigi, annotatsiooni või teksti järgi. Tulemuse realt avaneb lahendi täistekst, mitte ainult pealkiri; pealkiri ise on asja nimetus, mitte kohtu seisukoht. Otsing ei taanda eesti tähti: pohiseadus leiab ühe lahendi ja põhiseadus 335, nii et väike vastuste arv tähendab tavaliselt kirjaviga, mitte seda, et kohus pole asjas sõna võtnud.

Supreme Court Judgments

Access

Supreme Court page: https://www.riigikohus.ee/et/lahendid
Search endpoint embedded by that page: GET https://rikos.rik.ee/
Public HTML; no login or browser automation is required.

Retrieve

Send search fields as query parameters. The short parameter names accepted by the public form include:

asjaNr: case number
asjaLiigidIds: case type classifier, repeat for multiple values
syyteoLiigidIds: offence type classifier
otsuseKpalgus, otsuseKpLopp: decision date range
annotatsioon: annotation text
tekst: full-text term
pageSize: 1-100
sortVaartus: LahendiKuulutamiseAeg or Menetlus.MenetluseNR
sortAsc: true or false

For example, ?tekst=pohiseadus&pageSize=25 returns matching rows. Follow /LahendiOtsingEriVaade?asjaNr=... for the decision view. Add genereeriPdf=True to the same search query for the site's result-list PDF.

Return

supremeCourtSearch() rows are {case, date, kind, subject, url, textUrl}; supremeCourtCase() documents use the same shape.
textUrl is the judgment's FULL TEXT: the site prints a failObjektId in its last column without linking it, and that id resolves on Riigi Teataja as /public-api/api/v1/kohtuteave/kohtulahendid/<id>/file. Read it with fileText(textUrl); do not summarize a holding from the result-list subject, which is the case caption.

Limits

This search is Supreme Court-specific. Use court-proceedings-data for all court levels and public hearing listings.
The search does not fold Estonian diacritics. tekst=pohiseadus matches 1 judgment where tekst=põhiseadus matches 335 (checked 2026-08-01). A small count here usually means the term was mistyped, not that the court has been silent.
Paging is lk, 1-based. page, pageNumber, pageIndex and leht are silently ignored and return page one again.
A case number the register does not hold answers a real HTTP 404, not an empty table. The case view wants the case (5-26-5), not the document (5-26-5/14).

Search results are HTML, not JSON. Parse the result table and resolve relative links against https://rikos.rik.ee/.
Some judgments are redacted or not publicly available.

Verify

Require a focused text query to return a positive Tulemused count and rows with /LahendiOtsingEriVaade?asjaNr= links.
Confirm that the Supreme Court page still embeds https://rikos.rik.ee/; reject unrelated files linked elsewhere on the page as judgment results.
