Run the Registry Committal tool from the client’s own page and it creates a pre-filled committal application document ready for court, always knowing which client and matter you’re acting for.
- Open the client’s page (a current client), click the … menu in the top-right, then Registry Committal.
- Confirm the custody status (on bail or remanded in custody).
- Add the charges: use the charges already on file, upload a PDF charge document for Acquit to extract from, or both.
- Review the charges and select which ones to include.
- Fill in the committal details: court location, committal court (District or Supreme), prosecution agency, and election of plea.
- Generate the document.
You receive a downloadable Word file, and if the plea is guilty an Acknowledgment of Plea document is generated with it.
Tip: you can also start the wizard from a matter’s matched charges, which jumps straight to the charge-review step with those charges loaded.
Who signs the document
The document is signed by the solicitor the matter is allocated to, not necessarily whoever generates it. Their name, firm and signature (if they have uploaded one) are filled in automatically. On a matter sitting unallocated in the firm pool, or where the allocated solicitor has since left your firm, your own details are used instead, so a document never goes out in the name of someone no longer there.
