How to Track a Case

Using the Commonwealth Courts Portal (CCP)

By registering as a user of the CCP, it is possible to track a case so that you are informed when there is any activity in that case. This includes when a new listing date is added, when a document is lodged or when Judge's orders or judgments are delivered.

Please note, only parties and their legal representatives are able to view documents lodged in a case, and only if those documents are available electronically; Judges' orders and judgments, on the other hand, can be viewed by anyone.

How to register

1. Go to the Commonwealth Courts Portal and click on the Login link.
