Most fields on a legal action record may be updated before the file date stamp or journalized date has been recorded. Once that date is entered, the record becomes a court document and no changes may be made to it. However, you can record an amendment to a complaint or motion record to capture additional details concerning the action.
To record an amendment to a complaint or motion record, complete the following steps:
From the Home screen, click the Case tab.
Click the Workload tab. The Case Workload screen appears.
Click the ID Number link of the case you want to update. The Case Overview screen appears.
Click the Legal Actions link in the navigation bar on the left. The Case Legal Actions / Delinquency Participants Filter Criteria screen appears. From this location, you can access and maintain all legal actions associated with this case.
In the Case Legal Actions / Delinquency Participants table; select Maintain Legal Action next to the case participant you want to add a ruling. The Participant Legal Action Filter Criteria screen appears.
In the Participant Legal Action Information table; select Edit link for the complaint or motion record you want to amend. The detail screen for that action appears, based on the action's Type.
Amend the record. Some fields may be mandatory.
Click Save. You are returned to the Participant Legal Action Filter Criteria screen.
