Acquit works out which calendar entries are court dates by reading the text of your event subjects. Most of the time it gets it right, but some events trip it up:
- An abbreviation means something different in your firm. "SP" could be Southport, Sentence Proceeding, or something firm-specific. If your saved meanings (or the meaning most other Acquit users give it) differ from what you intended, Acquit can land on the wrong answer.
- The event mentions a court location but isn’t a court appearance. A DPP conference, registry visit, or barrister chambers meeting often includes a court name. Acquit tries to catch these with venue qualifiers (DPP, registry, chambers, Legal Aid) and classify them as court events rather than court dates, but unusual phrasings slip through.
- The pattern detected during wizard setup doesn’t match a one-off event. If your usual format is "SMITH - BMC - Mention" but a particular event is "Meeting with Smith BMC barrister", Acquit may guess wrong.
If a specific court date is wrong, open it and use Report Wrong Match from the … menu. Tell us the abbreviation in your calendar that was misread and, optionally, what it should have mapped to. We’ll update your mappings so the next sync is correct and record the error so recognition gets smarter for everyone.
