Are UK legal rulings public domain? Or just US rulings?

I just got curious and read up on Bridgeman vs.
Corel. To my complete
surprise, though heard in the US, it cites UK precedent (Privy Council,
House of Lords) in forming its opinion -- it is /not/ purely a case based
upon US law.
For anyone interested, we have this on Wikisource
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bridgeman_Art_Library,_Ltd._v._Corel_Corp.
There are a number of redlinks at the bottom.
It would be good if Wikipedia articles were written about:
* Fine Arts Copyright Act 1862 (see [[Edwin Wilkins Field]])
* Graves' Case (1869, LR 4 QB 715)
I cant quickly find a copy of Graves Case on the Internet. If anyone
can obtain pagescans of it, I will set it up on Wikisource as a
transcription project.
