Automate CPR limitation dates, court filing windows, and regulatory deadlines so your fee earners can focus on casework, not calendars.
Relying on manual diary entries and spreadsheet reminders for court deadlines is a professional negligence claim waiting to happen. When fee earners juggle dozens of active matters, critical dates slip through the cracks — exposing the firm to claims, costs orders, and reputational damage.
Fee earners maintain their own calendars with no centralised oversight, creating blind spots for supervisors.
Manually computing limitation periods under the Civil Procedure Rules is error-prone, especially for complex multi-party claims.
When a fee earner is absent or overloaded, approaching deadlines have no automatic failsafe to alert a colleague or supervisor.
Purpose-built capabilities — not generic templates you have to work around.
Enter the cause of action date and SwiftCase computes limitation periods, CPR response windows, and appeal deadlines automatically.
Multi-tier alerts notify the fee earner, then their supervisor, then the practice manager as deadlines approach.
A firm-wide calendar view shows every upcoming deadline, filterable by team, matter type, or fee earner.
Every deadline creation, acknowledgement, and completion is logged, providing evidence for PI insurers and SRA reviews.
When a matter is opened or a court order received, key dates are calculated and recorded automatically.
Escalating notifications fire at configurable intervals — e.g. 28 days, 14 days, 7 days, and 1 day before.
The assigned fee earner confirms they have actioned the deadline, updating the audit trail.
If the deadline is not acknowledged, automatic escalation routes it to a supervisor or head of department.
Once the task is filed or submitted, the deadline is marked complete with a timestamped record.
Try these tools to assess and improve your operations.
Yes. Enter the relevant date (e.g. date of knowledge, date of service) and SwiftCase applies the correct CPR rules to compute response and limitation deadlines, including bank holiday adjustments.
The escalation engine automatically routes the alert to a supervisor after a configurable period, and then to the practice manager if still unactioned — ensuring no deadline falls through the cracks.
SwiftCase can push deadline events to external calendars via iCal feeds, giving fee earners visibility in the tools they already use while keeping the master record centralised.
