Our Process
Step 1: Collect
Once leave to appeal has been granted and the notice of appeal has been filed, we arrange for the collection or delivery of all the relevant files.
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 checked to establish any missing documents and a quote is provided based on volume of work, state of original documents and due date.
Step 4: Clean
Scanned documents are cleaned 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 removeda and an electronic draft copy can be sent for approval.
Step 7: Print
Step 8: Deliver
The record is printed and sent to be professionally bound into books with our printers. The approved cover is printed on the front of the book with the volume details and court case number printed on the spine.
The appeal record will be packed carefully into boxes and made ready for collection or delivery. Any deliveries outside of Gauteng and Cape Town are handled by our trusted courier company.
Make sure to arrange delivery with our team when going ahead with your order.
