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
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 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 7: Print
Step 8: Deliver
The record is printed and bound by 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.
The appeal record is packed into boxes for collection or delivery. Any deliveries outside of Gauteng and Cape Town are handled by our courier company. Make sure to arrange delivery with our team when placing your order.
