Our Process – “Cradle to Grave” Service"
-
You submit the file to our secure portal (no paper required).
-
We prepare the electronic Bill of Costs and forward it to you for approval.
-
Upon your approval, we electronically file the bill (and required attachments) via the HMCTS document upload centre.

Once the costs have been assessed and you have approved the amount allowed, we obtain the Final Costs Certificate for you.
