Ordering documents
There are 2 key benefits from requesting documents from Solomonic. Firstly, we request documents for you under our name so there is complete anonymity. Typically, when requesting documents from the courts, you must register and submit your email. With us, we do all the legwork for you and there it all remains confidential. Secondly, there is a community benefit. Whenever a user requests a document, it becomes available for all our other users to view. This means all users have access to a huge pool of documents that only continues to grow rapidly.
Documents you have access to:
CPR Rules stipulate that court documents only become available to third parties after the claim has been issued, served and acknowledged. Court documents that are publicly available for request are:
Claim form
Particulars of claim
Order
Defences
Filings
Some of these documents may be immediately accessible for you to download from our platform, and some others will be available to request. When you filter for ‘Document Type’, note that the filter is representative of documents that are available to both request and download, that is, claims that have filings made available by the court, rather than the filings that we have readily available for download.
How to make requests and manage your orders
Where documents have been made available for request, you will see either a ‘Request’ or ‘Download’ button next to each document. If a document is readily available for download, clicking on ‘Download’ will automatically save the document to your device as a pdf. No one will be able to see that you’ve downloaded the document.
Click on ‘Request’ to request a document from the platform. A panel will appear, confirming the price of your document and if you’d like to enter a matter code. We only pass on the Court fee - we do not charge any marginal cost on top of the Court processing fee. If your organisation has made matter codes compulsory, you must enter your matter code to complete your request.
To view and manage all your orders, go to ‘My documents’ from your profile dropdown menu. You will see a list of all your document orders, their statuses and the date on which you requested them. Each document name is hyperlinked so that you can easily access each file.
