How to upload New Documents in a Case in Justikal
The following instructions will help you submit new documents in cases in which you are a party.
To do this, you must first be a registered party to the case in Justikal.
If you have not yet been granted access to the case, you must reach out to the case administrator to invite you into the case. All access requests must be approved by the case administrator.
Follow these steps to add a new document to a legal case:
1. Log into Justikal
After logging in, locate the relevant legal case in which you wish to submit a document.
2. Open the Case from "My Cases"
Once you’ve clicked on and opened the case from your "Court Cases" or "General Cases" overview, select the "Documents" tab at the top of the page.
From this page, you can see an overview of all documents submitted in the case.
3. Click "Add Documents"
Click the "Add Documents" button located in the upper right corner of the page to submit a new document.
This will open the upload window.
3.1 Select the document type
The default document type is “Court Document.”
Other types are available, such as “Judgment”, “Court Record”, and more.
3.2 Upload your document(s)
Click on or drag a file into the grey area to upload it from your computer.
You can upload one or multiple documents at the same time.
It is recommended to use PDF format for all written materials to ensure the best user experience.
If you upload files in formats other than PDF, they will automatically be converted into ASiC document containers for secure electronic sealing.
3.3 Add electronic signature (optional)
If the documents require an electronic signature, click the pencil icon on the right side of each document. This will open a signing page.
3.4 Optional: Limited access
Under Document access, choose either “Public” or “Limited”, depending on the sensitivity of the document.
3.5 Optional: Add a message
You may add an optional message that will appear in the automatic email notification sent to all parties in the case, informing them of the new document.
Adding a message is not required for every document, but it can help clarify what the document is and make it easier for recipients to identify.
4. Click "Confirm" to Submit
Finally, click "Confirm" to submit the document.
Once submitted, the document is sealed with a qualified timestamp, and a notification is sent to all parties in the case.
