What is a Filing Date?
The filing date on a case is the date a document was submitted to a court to file suit. There is only one filing date for each claim provided in the system. If you find you need additional filing dates for different documents you file, you may create these in the User Fields section. The filing date can be printed in documents (FILEDATE). The filing date is displayed on the claim screen in the Litigation section. And if you have contingent suit fees set up on your cases, the contingent suit fees will not be calculated unless the filing date or the judgment date is filled in on the case.
