LNB NEWS: Ability to archive draft divorce cases added to MyHMCTS

© Copyright LexisNexis 2026. All Rights Reserved.
HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) has added the ability for solicitors to archive draft cases on the MyHMCTS portal where the case is in pre-submission stage and is no longer required. 

Lexis®Library update: Solicitors will also have the ability to move the case out of the archived state, should their client decide they wish to continue with the case. Previously cases in the draft state were unable to be closed or archived and remained in the solicitor's case list, making it more difficult to find relevant cases.

The revised functionality is only available in relation to cases added following the coming into force of the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 on 6 April 2022.
