MyHMCTS

Legal professionals can now create an online HM Courts and Services (HMCTS) account

MyHMCTS users will be able to use, pay for and manage all their court and tribunal applications in a single place. They can access all their live cases from a single case list, receive notifications of status changes such as an order having been made, and allow access to others within their organisation. The system is still being tested, so users are encouraged to contact HMCTS with any feedback and suggestions.
