Free case preparation guides

Case Ready is a document organisation tool. It does not provide legal advice, does not tell you what arguments to make and does not guarantee any outcome. Always follow the orders, rules and practice directions that apply to your case.

Walk into your hearing organised

Case Ready turns a pile of letters, emails and forms into one clear binder. Add your case reference, court, parties and hearing date once and they print on every page. Then file each document in the right section, keep your deadlines in one place and find anything in seconds when the judge asks.

Which countries does it cover?
