Judgments and objection windows

Record every judgment issued in your matter. When you enter the date the deed was received, the system computes the last day to object and adds it to the matter's deadlines, so you are reminded before the window closes.

Record a judgment

1. Open the matter, go to the Judgments section, then Record judgment.
2. Choose the Level (first instance, appeal, Supreme Court, enforcement) and enter the Deed number and Date pronounced.
3. Enter Deed received on. If it is the date the court set for receipt, tick that box. If you have not received the deed yet, leave it empty and the judgment stays Awaiting deed.
4. Tick Urgent matter if it is one: the period is shorter.
5. The system picks the Objection period for the court type and level and computes the Last day to object. You can change the rule or the date.
6. Add the Outcome, Amount awarded and Summary of the ruling if you like, then Save judgment.

There is no ready rule for enforcement, committee, arbitration or Supreme Court judgments; set the last day yourself.

Statuses

• Awaiting deed: no receipt date yet.
• Window open: a counter such as "12 days left", red from three days before.
• Objection filed: press Objection filed and enter the filing date and the Najiz request number. You can move the matter to the next stage in the same step.
• Objection waived: when the client accepts the judgment.
• Window missed: set automatically if the window ends with no filing recorded, and you are notified. If you did file in time, press Objection filed.
• Final: when the judgment becomes final. Then close the matter from the matter actions if it is over.

Undo goes back to the previous status if you pressed a button by mistake.

The judgments list

Judgments in the side menu lists every judgment on your matters, with counters: open windows, closing within three days, missed and unresolved, and final. The home page shows the nearest open window.

Showing a judgment to the client

If the client portal is on, you can show a judgment and its objection window to the client on their matter page. It is off by default for each judgment. The client never sees your notes or the objection request number.
