ACT – Litigation matter types

We have recently added a new feature called Table relations to ACT Litigation matter types.

Card table relations have been implemented for the following ACT Litigation matter types which will enable all related cards to be linked together:

  • Debt Recovery – Magistrates Court

  • Magistrates Court Litigation

  • Supreme Court Litigation

  • Supreme Court Appeal

Table relations provide smart association of related parties and/or relevant data through both cards and tables to ensure matter types are easier to complete.

Some common Litigation table relations include Defendant and Defendant’s Solicitor.

This is particularly helpful in Litigation matter types when there is more than one Other side and Other side’s Solicitor, it is now easy to identify which Solicitor belongs with which Other side.

Some of these card tables are not Standard tables but are available in Other possible tables and when added to the matter through edit table types will link with the relevant related card or table.

If required, you can also edit table relations per matter by right clicking on the Matter Details and selecting Edit Table relations, you will then be presented with a list of relations to un-associate – simply untick any tables you wish to unlink.

Details are also available on the Help Centre.
