HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) has issued a release note with guidance on sharing draft cases for financial remedy cases proceeding by electronic means via MyHMCTS. 

Lexis®Library update: Prior to this release on both consent and contested financial applications, the solicitor was not able to share draft cases within their firms. This new functionality will enable solicitors to share the case, when in draft. The draft case will not be visible to the respondent solicitor until the case has been submitted.
