What is an electronic court bundle?
An electronic court bundle is a structured collection of documents supplied in digital form for use during a hearing. A properly prepared bundle should be logically ordered, accurately paginated and easy to navigate.
Why preparation quality matters
Judges and parties must be able to locate documents quickly. Poor indexing, duplicate documents, missing pages and unreadable scans can waste hearing time and undermine the presentation of a case.
Core elements of a good electronic bundle
- A clear and accurate index
- Continuous pagination
- Searchable text created through OCR
- Bookmarks and hyperlinks
- Consistent document orientation
- A manageable PDF file size
How court bundle software helps
Court bundle software can automate pagination, indexing, document merging and navigation. This reduces repetitive work and makes updates easier when documents are added or removed.
