Process, service and certified copies

Track service, orders and certified copies until they are done

Service on every party, process fees, orders awaited, certified-copy applications and registry defects, each with its due date and who is handling it.

The problem

Matters get adjourned because summons were not served, the process fee was not paid, or the certified copy needed for the appeal never got collected.

How AdvocateFlow handles it

• Track service party by party: mode (court process, registered post, email, WhatsApp, affixture, publication), date issued, date served and the proof.
• A process fee due date becomes a task on the clerk's day list.
• Certified copies move from applied to fee paid, ready and collected, and the time taken feeds the limitation calculation under section 12(2).
• Registry defects are listed with a cure-by date until cured.

Questions

Is the certified-copy time used for limitation?

Yes. The time from applying for the copy to the copy being ready is excluded under section 12(2) of the Limitation Act.
