Terms of use

Last updated 4 October 2026

By using this website you agree to these terms.

Information only, not legal advice

Everything on this site is general information. It is not legal advice and does not create a solicitor-client relationship. For advice about your case speak to a solicitor, the duty solicitor or an advice service such as Citizens Advice.

Accuracy and reliance

Hearing lists change at short notice and we can be behind the official service. We try to be accurate, but we do not guarantee that information is complete, current or error-free. Always check the official list and your court paperwork, and contact the court if unsure. Do not rely on this site to decide whether you must attend a hearing.

Independence

We are not HMCTS, a court or a government body, and we are not endorsed by HMCTS.

Acceptable use

• Do not use the site to harass, intimidate or identify individuals, or to publish information protected by a reporting restriction. Publishing restricted information can be a criminal offence.
• Do not use automated tools to copy the site at a scale that affects its service without our permission.
• Do not use the site for unlawful purposes.

Third-party links

We link to official and other third-party websites. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content.

Our content and licences

Our own text, design and code are protected by copyright. Public sector information is reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraud. Subject to that, we are not liable for loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, this free site or from it being unavailable.

Changes and law

We may update these terms and the site at any time. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and its courts have jurisdiction.
