OrdoLux checks the court lists courts publish each working day, and the new claims as they are issued, then flags anything that touches a case you are following. Court, division, date, time and parties, on the file, without anyone refreshing a court website.
The list is published the working day before. That is the useful moment to know.
Court lists are checked every working day and compared with the cases you follow, so a listing is picked up without a fee earner trawling the judiciary website each afternoon.
Court, division, date, time, hearing type, and the judge or venue where the list publishes it. Enough to brief counsel and warn the client without a phone call to the court.
The listing is recorded against the matter, so the diary and the file agree and there is an auditable note of when the firm learned of the date.
In the app, and by email if the firm wants the alert pushed out rather than waiting to be looked at.
A claim is public the moment it is issued. Most firms find out when the papers arrive.
Claims issued at court are picked up as they are filed, with the case number, court, claim type and filing date.
The claimant, the defendants and their representatives where the record names them, so a firm can see immediately whether a matter is theirs or their client's.
The claim arrives as an alert with a link to the court record, rather than as a paragraph in an email that gets forwarded twice and lost.
Two different jobs, one habit: the firm hears about it rather than going looking.
Listings move and new dates appear. An alert on the day the list is published is the difference between a prepared hearing and a scramble.
For firms and insurers watching a sector or a set of parties, new claims in personal injury and clinical negligence become visible early, with the representatives named.
If a client rings asking whether a date is fixed, the answer is on the file rather than in someone's inbox.
The alert and its timestamp sit on the matter, which is a cleaner answer at a file review than a note saying someone thinks they checked.
What is a court list?
The list a court publishes of the hearings it will deal with on a given day, sometimes called the cause list. It carries the case name, court, division, time and often the judge.
How often are the lists checked?
Every working day. Lists are normally published the working day before the hearing, which is when a firm needs to know.
Which courts are covered?
Daily list monitoring starts with the High Court in London, and coverage is being extended to further courts and tribunals. Tell us which courts your practice uses and we will confirm what is covered.
What is a case alert?
A notification that a new claim has been issued at court, with the case number, court, claim type, parties and, where the record names them, the representatives.
Can alerts go to more than one person?
Yes. Alerts can be delivered in the app and by email, so the fee earner and the person covering the diary both hear about it.
Tell us the courts and claim types you care about and we will show you the alerts on a live matter.
