When you attach clients to an agency request, Acquit automatically checks the published law lists to confirm each client is actually listed at that court on that date. A verification badge appears next to each client in the request drawer.
What the badges mean
- Listed (green): confirmed in the law list at the correct court and court number.
- Court Mismatch (amber): in the law list, but in a different court room than you specified. Shown for larger courts (e.g. Brisbane, Ipswich, Southport) where court numbers are significant.
- Wrong Courthouse (red): for Brisbane matters, the client is listed at a different physical building (e.g. Roma Street instead of 363 George Street). This is critical because the covering lawyer could go to the wrong courthouse.
- Not Found (red): the law list is published for that date but the client does not appear in it.
- Pending (grey): the law list has not been published yet for that date.
Alerts for serious discrepancies
A wrong courthouse or a client not found triggers an in-app notification and an email alert to you and the covering lawyer (if someone has accepted). Court number mismatches at larger courts trigger an in-app notification only.
Tip: Verification runs again automatically whenever the law list is updated, so if a client’s court number changes overnight you’re notified before court the next morning.
