Filing documents at Court Via E-mail


If you are acting as a Litigant in person I do think this is really important.
Nowadays you can submit documents to Court via e-mail HOWEVER BE CAREFUL. If you do decide to submit document to the Court.
When printed out, the email and any attachments (including any document embedded in another document), together with sufficient copies for service on the required parties, AND accompanying attachments SHOULD NOT exceed 50 pages
A page is one side, therefore 50 pages equals 25 pieces of paper printed on both sides
The total size of an email, including any attachments, must not exceed 10 megabytes.
You must not use more than one email to take any step in a claim which requires a document or documents to be filed.
IF, WHEN SENDING AN E-MAIL YOU EXCEED THE 50 PAGES OR 10 MEGABYTES STATED YOUR DOCUMENTS WILL BE REJECTED IMMEDIATELY AND WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED TO HAVE BEEN FILED IN GOOD TIME, THIS COULD PROVE FATAL TO YOUR CLAIM SO PLEASE BE AWARE
If your documents require a fee to be sent with documents you have e-mailed across then you can phone the Court and pay the Court Fee by debit/credit card
