Court and deadlines
Dates computed from the rules, and nobody left to remember them
The firm keeps its own rules for counting time, the system suggests every date those rules produce, and a reminder nobody answers climbs to the partner.
Who uses it
What each person does with it
- Associate
- Records what the court did at each sitting, the outcome, the next date and the orders, and confirms the deadlines the rules suggest from it.
- Secretary
- Keeps the diary and the court diary by court and time, with public holidays, court vacations and leave already in it.
- Partner
- Receives the last reminders on every date on their matters, and sees overdue, due this week, unconfirmed and needing cover on one dashboard.
- Managing partner
- Sets the rules the firm counts by and answers the escalation when a date on the day itself is still unanswered.

How it works in practice
The guides a firm's people use, open to anyone deciding whether it fits.
- How the deadline rules count timeThe firm's own rules for counting time, the units and calendars they count against, and why editing a rule never moves a date already set.
- Confirm, extend and complete deadlinesReview the deadlines the rules suggest, confirm them, extend one only with a reason and the authority for it, and complete it with evidence.
- Reminders and escalationHow reminders climb from the holder to the partner and the managing partner, why each must be acknowledged, and what leave does.
- The case, hearings and filingsOpen the case on a matter, list hearings and record what the court did, and keep filings, service and orders that start time running.
