More from us

The Archive Search function has been created to enable Users to provide evidence for the court of which attachments were uploaded to the Portal before a claim reached Stage 3.

If a Court Proceedings Pack has been created and the User takes action to end the claim, it will be archived after 30 days. Once in the archive, the claim will be searchable using the new ‘Archive Search’ function.

If the User does not take any action to end the claim, the Portal will end the claim after 15 days. In these circumstances the claim will remain in the portal for 45 days before it is moved to archive.

The claim and its attachments will be kept in archive for 12 months from the date it goes into the archive.
