Supremely digital: new case management system

The Supreme Court is fine-tuning a digital case management system, known as the portal, which is expected to be rolled out in October

It launched a consultation this month on the portal, which is designed to offer an end-to-end service to users. It will be accessible through the Supreme Court’s and Judicial Committee of the Privy Council’s websites and will include a case tracker feature and enable electronic service, correspondence and e-payment.

The first version of the portal is now being tested. It is intended to be accessible to, but will not be compulsory for, litigants in person and uses simple language where possible.

The ‘Consultation on the proposed revision of the Supreme Court Rules’, which also covers other rule changes, ends on 17 May.
