After court you can record what happened and diarise the next date for many matters at once. Open Record Outcomes from the + menu (top bar, under Court) and choose one of two methods: upload marked-up file notes, or pick your matters straight from the court list. Both run the same review wizard before anything saves.
Method 1: Upload file notes
Print and mark up a QR-stamped file note for each matter (see How do I print file notes for a court day?), then choose Upload file notes and drag in photos or a single multi-page PDF; each note becomes a step in the wizard. Sheets just need to be clear, well lit and QR-in-frame; free handwriting is flagged low confidence for double-checking. Court 20 matters at Brisbane can print the court’s callover form with them: see How do I generate the Court 20 callover coversheet?.
Note: Reading the handwriting uses AI, so Document reading (Settings → AI) must be on; if it’s off the upload tells you and nothing is sent.
Method 2: Select from matters in court
No printing, scanning or AI. Choose Select from matters in court to see every matter from the last few weeks still without a next date. Tick the matters you appeared on and click Review. Firm console users also see colleagues’ matters. Jump to a day filters to one sitting date, and Ignore drops a matter that has finished for good.
Review and save (both methods)
- Check the courtroom (pre-filled from the listing) and the magistrate; a surname is enough, and where two magistrates share one, a first initial like “K Payne” settles it.
- Confirm the next date and time. A scanned courtroom or location cell opens the scheduling panel automatically, so a matter can never change court unseen. Add another date records extra listings, each becoming its own court date. BOE due and Disclosure due record deadlines; a disclosure order with no date is recorded on the matter without a calendar entry.
- Save. Nothing saves until the final Review & save step lists every note before Save all to system.
Each save creates the next court date (synced to your calendar), marks the heard appearance as adjourned and links the two, records due dates as court events, and saves the magistrate. Town Agencies outcomes, including every extra date, go to the instructing solicitor to accept in the normal way.
Note: The 4pm reminder chases matters left without a next date; see Why did I get a reminder to diarise my next court date?.
Note: Writing to your calendar needs Outlook connected with two-way sync on (Settings → Calendar Sync).
