Tips for better results
Be specific
"What notice period is required for redundancy under Maltese employment law?" works better than "notice period".
Attach documents
Upload a contract, lease, or court filing and ask LexMT to analyse it against applicable law.
Switch research modes
Use the mode pills (Malta / EU / Combined / Research) to control which corpus LexMT searches. For dedicated case-law browsing, use the Caselaw Search page instead.
Cross-check citations
Every answer includes the source. Always verify directly on legislation.mt or eCourts before relying on it.
Ask in English or Maltese
LexMT handles both languages. The majority of Maltese court judgments are written in Maltese. The model handles Maltese natively and will extract relevant passages regardless of language.

Frequently asked questions
What legislation does LexMT cover?
The full Malta statute book: 1,100+ Acts (CAPs) and 3,800+ Subsidiary Legislation instruments, plus 80,000+ court judgments spanning all Maltese courts, and 28,000+ CJEU judgments. The corpus updates automatically as new legislation and judgments are published.
Is LexMT a substitute for a lawyer?
No. LexMT provides legal and regulatory information only. It does not provide advice. Every answer should be verified against primary sources, and you should consult a qualified professional for any matter with legal consequences.
How current is the legislation?
Legislation is indexed from legislation.mt and updated within 24 hours of publication. Court judgments are indexed as they become available on eCourts.
Is my data private?
Yes. Uploaded documents are processed in memory only and never written to disk. Query history is stored on our servers for the duration of your subscription and can be deleted at any time. Your data is never used to train AI models. We are GDPR compliant and classified as Limited Risk under the EU AI Act.
Can I try LexMT before subscribing?
Yes. You get 10 free queries with no credit card required. Subscriptions start at €99 per month.
What languages can I use?
English and Maltese. You can mix languages in a single session. The model natively handles both.
Can I export answers?
Yes. Subscribers can export any answer as PDF, DOCX, or XLSX using the export button below the response. The export includes the answer text and all cited sources with links.
Why do you ask for my professional sector during sign-up?
LexMT uses your sector to personalise every aspect of your experience. Not just how results are displayed, but how the search itself works. A lawyer gets a higher proportion of court judgments and case-law-heavy answers, with citations in proper legal format. A tax advisor gets more legislation and treaty references, with Cap. 123 (Income Tax Act), VAT Act, and double taxation agreements prioritised. A compliance officer gets regulatory obligations front and centre: MiCA, MiFID, AML/CFT, FIAU guidance, with EU regulations given extra weight. An architect or planner gets Planning Authority policies, ODZ rules, and development control legislation surfaced first. Your sector setting also helps the AI correctly expand ambiguous acronyms. For example, 'PE' means Permanent Establishment to a tax advisor, but Planning Authority decisions to an architect.
What are the research modes and how do I choose?
The four mode pills at the top of the dashboard (🇲🇹 Malta, 🇪🇺 EU, 🌐 Combined, 🧠 Research) control which corpus LexMT searches. Malta mode uses Malta legislation + Malta judgments. EU mode uses EU directives, regulations + Court of Justice rulings. Combined searches everything. Research uses AI general knowledge only with no corpus lookup. See the mode guide further up this page.
What is the Caselaw Search page?
The Caselaw Search page (/cases) is a dedicated judgment browser. It lets you search 77,500+ Malta court judgments and 28,000+ CJEU decisions with court filters, year range, party name search, and judge/outcome filters. Each result shows the case parties, reference number, court, date, and an AI-generated summary. Click 'View PDF' to go directly to the eCourts or EUR-Lex source. Subscribers can bookmark cases, and filter by judge or outcome.
How many court judgments are included?
Over 77,500 judgment PDFs from eCourts, covering the Civil Court (First Hall), Court of Appeal, Court of Magistrates, Court of Commerce, Constitutional Court, Small Claims Tribunal, and more, spanning 30+ years. For EU case law: 28,000+ judgments split between the Court of Justice (preliminary rulings, direct actions, appeals) and the General Court (competition, state aid, IP, trade remedies).
What regulatory guidance does LexMT include?
Over 1,500 regulatory guidance documents from 18 bodies are indexed alongside legislation and case law — and this breadth is unique to LexMT. The corpus covers: FIAU Implementing Procedures Part I (all subject persons, 2025 edition) and all Part II sector-specific versions (Crypto-Assets, CSPs, Accountants and Auditors, Remote Gaming, Land-Based Casinos); FIAU General Guidance Notes on transaction monitoring, source of wealth, MLRO obligations, jurisdictional risk, red flags in financial statements, corrective actions, enforcement factsheets, and tax-related ML typologies; MFSA Rulebooks across all supervised sectors (Crypto-Assets, AML/CFT, Capital Markets, FinTech, Banking, Insurance, Investment Services) and MFSA Annual Reports 2020 to 2024; Malta Tax and Customs Administration (MTCA) guidance covering income tax, VAT, excise, customs and international tax matters; Malta Gaming Authority guidance and regulatory notices; IDPC (data protection) decisions; Transport Malta regulatory documents; and international maritime instruments including the Hague-Visby Rules, York-Antwerp Rules 2016, IMO Conventions, MARPOL 73/78, and Malta Yacht Codes (CYC, sCYC, PYC). Over 19,000 BAILII Admiralty decisions are also indexed. For compliance officers, MLROs, and regulated entities, this means getting answers that reflect both the legislation and the regulator's own published interpretation of it, in the same response.
Can I bookmark and revisit cases?
Yes. Subscribers can star any judgment on the Caselaw Search page. Bookmarks are saved to your account and accessible from the Saved Cases page (/saved) at any time. Each bookmark stores the case reference, parties, court, date, and summary snippet.
How do I share an answer?
Click the Share button below any answer to generate a public link. The link shows the question, answer, and all cited sources. Anyone with the link can view it without logging in. This is useful for sending research to a colleague or client. Shared answers do not include any uploaded document content. To delete a shared link, email admin@lex.mt with the link ID.
Can I view my past queries?
Yes. Subscribers can view their full query history at /history. Each entry shows the question, the answer, and the sources. You can re-run any past query with one click. History is stored on our servers and can be deleted at any time via My Account.
Is this legal advice?
No. LexMT provides legal information and research assistance only. It is not a substitute for advice from a qualified Maltese lawyer. Every response carries a disclaimer to this effect. Always verify citations and consult a professional for advice specific to your matter.
How accurate are the answers?
LexMT retrieves actual text from legislation and judgments and cites the source for every claim. That said, AI can make mistakes. It may occasionally misread a passage or miss a more recent amendment. Treat every answer as a starting point for research and always verify the cited source directly.
What AI models does LexMT use?
LexMT is powered by Anthropic Claude — one of the most capable AI models available for professional research and drafting. All plans use Claude Sonnet by default, which delivers fast, accurate answers with full corpus retrieval. Pro subscribers can also access Claude Opus — Anthropic's most powerful model — for up to 10 queries per day. Opus is particularly suited to complex multi-issue analysis, lengthy drafting tasks, and nuanced legal reasoning. Switch between models using the toggle in the dashboard. Opus usage resets at midnight Malta time. Free trial accounts use Claude Sonnet only.
What is the difference between Claude Sonnet and Claude Opus?
Both models are built by Anthropic and have full access to LexMT's legal corpus. Claude Sonnet is the standard model — fast, accurate, and excellent for the vast majority of legal research and drafting tasks. Claude Opus is Anthropic's flagship model: it produces longer, more nuanced analysis and handles complex multi-jurisdictional questions, intricate contracts, and detailed legal opinions with greater depth. For routine queries — 'What does Cap. 386 say about share transfers?' — Sonnet is more than sufficient. For a full corporate restructuring opinion spanning company law, tax, and regulatory compliance, Opus gives noticeably better results. Opus is available on Pro plans, capped at 10 queries per day.
Can I upload my own documents?
Yes. Subscribers can upload PDFs, Word documents (.docx), images, and plain text files. Uploaded documents are processed entirely in working memory and are never written to persistent storage. Document contents are not saved to query history. Only the typed question is stored.
Can I export answers?
Yes. Subscribers can export any answer as PDF, DOCX, or XLSX using the export button below the response. The export includes the full answer and all cited sources with links.
Does LexMT learn from my queries?
No. Your queries are never used to train AI models. Query history is stored on our servers for your own use and can be deleted at any time.
I found an error in an answer. What should I do?
Please report it to feedback@lex.mt with the question you asked and what was wrong. Your feedback directly improves the product.
