Each law firm will have one account with one username and one password. There will be no individual users within law firm accounts at this stage. All users are given the email address and password for the account by the person in the firm who has set up the account.
All Authorised users in the firm (lawyers, finance officers, administration officers, paralegals) use this username and password to log in to CourtSA, so they can see and do everything in the account.
All users can:
- create new forms
- edit unsubmitted draft applications saved by everyone in the firm
- lodge
- pay
- see a summary of your payments and get your tax invoices
- see all cases lodged by everyone in the firm
- perform all actions on lodged cases
- request case access (take over the conduct of a matter from another firm or litigant in person)
- search for cases lodged by other firms or litigants in person.
Cases can be drafted by one user, viewed by another and submitted by a third.
If someone is on holidays, or sick, or leaves the firm, all authorised users in the firm have access to all cases and can easily take over conduct of the matter, initiate new matters and make payments
