A video guide to using the new Court of Session case tracker is now available to view online.

The case tracker launched earlier this month as part of Civil Online and represents the first digital service available in the Court of Session, enabling 90% of case types to be tracked online.

Legal professionals can now monitor the status and progress of their Court of Session cases, with the tracker offering real time updates on case activity, ensuring that they have the most up to date information at their fingertips.

The video guides users through the process of accessing their cases and highlights key features of the tracker.

These include:

• Functionality to track the majority (approximately 90%) of Court of Session case types.
• Cases registered on or after 31 July 2024 will be trackable.
• Easy access to case information including documents, interlocutors and timetables.
• Up to date information on past and future hearings.

This transformational change supports the SCTS Civil justice reform objective to develop a fully digital, end to end service across all civil business. Case Tracking is designed to enhance the management and tracking of civil cases, significantly improving the efficiency of legal proceedings in Scotland.

Document submission for Court of Session cases is not available at this time. However, it will show what number of process has been allocated to documents and allow copies of any document to be downloaded.
