Civil Online now accepting larger documents

Civil Online users can now submit documents with a file size of up to 50MB for both ordinary cause and simple procedure, Scottish Courts & Tribunals Service has confirmed.

Solicitors can use Civil Online to submit documents for all types of ordinary procedure action and are also able to use the Civil Online API to transfer simple procedure claims directly from their own case management systems.

Ordinary cause documents can be submitted via Civil Online with the exception of initial writs and notices of intention to defend. Submitting all other parts of process via Civil Online is encouraged, and up to five documents can be submitted at any one time. Each of those documents can be up to 50MB.

Any legal firm interested in having a demonstration or that would like to sign up to the service should contact Gary White at civilonlinelab@scotcourts.gov.uk
