If you email NAS they and give them all the reference numbers , they will give you a quote for sending you copies of the documents . When I did it , they even found another one linked to the same case ! It can however be costly as it is priced according to the number of pages , which if a big case can be about 100 ! It can make really interesting reading though as it can include all the witness statements.
Hope this helps
