A client with more than one matter can be listed in two rooms on the one day, for example a callover in Court 20 and a mention in Court 23. Acquit treats each listing as its own appearance, because that is what they are.
What you will see
Each listing gets its own card under Matches, showing that room’s magistrate, and each client row carries a small branch icon beside the name. Hover it to see the other listing: the room where both are at the same court, the court where it is a different courthouse, plus its time, floor and list.
Each listing needs its own court date
The listing that matches a court date you have saved shows the green synced badge. The other shows Not in your synced calendar with a plus button to add it. Acquit will not move your saved court date onto the second listing, because that court date belongs to the other matter and moving it would take the first appearance out of your diary.
When the matter moved court
Sometimes the second listing is a matter you already have saved at a different courthouse: a matter first listed in the Arrest Court, say, that today appears in the Magistrates Court. When the published list shows that court date is no longer sitting where you filed it, the row offers a move button beside the plus.
Moving shows you the court date it found, and on your say-so points it at the listing, updating the court, room, time, magistrate and your diary entry in one step. That keeps one entry for the one appearance. Use the plus instead when it really is a separate matter, and if nothing is offered, open the court date and change its court, room and time yourself.
