Invalidate a Legal Action Record

If a legal action was created in error, you can invalidate it, that is, note on the record that it was created in error. The detail screens for hearing, ruling, subpoena, and notification records include a check box that allows you to indicate the record was created in error. However, for a motion or complaint, you end the action with the reason of "Created in Error."


You cannot invalidate a record on which the file stamp date or journalized date was completed.

To invalidate a legal action record, complete the following steps:

  1. From the Home screen, click the Case tab.

  2. Click the Workload tab. The Case Workload screen appears.

  3. Click the ID Number link for the case you want to update. The Case Overview screen appears.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. At the bottom of the screen, click the box next to Created in Error.

  8. Click the Save button. You are returned to the Participant Legal Action Filter Criteria screen.

  9. Click Close. You are returned to the Case Legal Actions / Delinquency Participants Filter Criteria screen.
