Bot Verification Page Blocks Access to EUECJ Case C11625
Summary
The British and Irish Legal Information Institute (BAILII) EUECJ case page (C11625) is blocked behind Anubis, a proof-of-work bot-verification system, preventing automated access. The system uses Hashcash-style challenges to deter AI web scrapers and requires users to disable JavaScript-interfering browser extensions like JShelter to proceed.
“Anubis is a compromise. Anubis uses a Proof-of-Work scheme in the vein of Hashcash, a proposed proof-of-work scheme for reducing email spam.”

What changed
The BAILII EUECJ case C11625 page is inaccessible to automated access. BAILII has deployed Anubis, a proof-of-work bot-verification system, to prevent AI companies from aggressively scraping legal databases. The system presents a computational challenge to visitors that legitimate users can pass with standard browsers but automated scrapers cannot bypass at scale. This is a technical access control measure rather than a regulatory change, and it does not affect the underlying legal case content.
Legal researchers and compliance professionals seeking access to EUECJ case C11625 will need to disable JavaScript-blocking extensions (such as JShelter) and accept the proof-of-work challenge to view the actual ruling. This does not constitute a change in legal obligations or regulatory requirements.

You are seeing this because the administrator of this website has set up Anubis to protect the server against the scourge of AI companies aggressively scraping websites. This can and does cause downtime for the websites, which makes their resources inaccessible for everyone.
Anubis is a compromise. Anubis uses a Proof-of-Work scheme in the vein of Hashcash, a proposed proof-of-work scheme for reducing email spam. The idea is that at individual scales the additional load is ignorable, but at mass scraper levels it adds up and makes scraping much more expensive.
Ultimately, this is a placeholder solution so that more time can be spent on fingerprinting and identifying headless browsers (EG: via how they do font rendering) so that the challenge proof of work page doesn't need to be presented to users that are much more likely to be legitimate.
Please note that Anubis requires the use of modern JavaScript features that plugins like JShelter will disable. Please disable JShelter or other such plugins for this domain.
