Our Process

Step 1: Collect

Once leave to appeal has been granted and the notice of appeal has been filed, we either arrange for the collection or delivery of all the relevant files, or you can invite us electronically via CaseLines or Court Online.

Step 3: Scan

The documents are scanned at a high resolution and de-skewed. The scanned digital documents are then reviewed, page by page.

Step 5: Index

This is where it all comes together. A meticulous draft index is created which becomes the backbone of the appeal record, and is prepared for the client's approval. A draft cover is also sent for approval.

Step 7: Print

The record is printed and bound by our professional printers. The approved cover is printed on the front of the book with the volume details and court case number printed on the spine for easy reference.

Step 2: Quote

The files are carefully checked to establish any missing documents, and a quote is provided based on the volume of work, the number of copies needed, the state of the original documents, and the due date.

Step 4: Restore

Scanned documents are restored and enhanced for legibility. Highlighting, stray dots, handwriting, lines, and dirty marks are removed.

Step 6: Check

The record is placed into volumes with headers, line numbers, and cross-references.  The document is checked for errors and typos, marks are removed, and an electronic draft copy can be sent for approval. 

Step 8: Deliver

Transcriptions and Document Restoration

We do transcriptions for meetings and arbitrations and any legal typing services in both English and Afrikaans. Document cleaning and de-skewing for electronic document storage.
