Lodging documents by electronic means

As from 1 April 2020, in addition to the one-way “no-reply” email accounts, an additional electronic means for lodging documents with the court, called the “e-Lodgement Platform”, was made available for parties and legal representatives to lodge with the High Court, District Court and Family Court their submissions, authorities, hearing bundles and other documents as directed by the court. The Platform had been further extended to the Lands Tribunal starting from 15 April 2020. Case parties may refer to this link for a video demonstration to have a better idea of how to use the Platform.
