About eLitigation
The Integrated Electronic Litigation System (eLitigation) is the next step forward
in the increasingly sophisticated use of technology in the Courts.
In 2000, the Electronic Filing System (EFS) revolutionised the conduct of civil
litigation by enabling court documents to be prepared and filed electronically.
Since then, users of the system have become more tech-savvy and at the same time
technology has advanced with more user friendly features.
Recognising the importance of keeping the system relevant and flexible to meet the
ongoing demands, the Judiciary has taken the next step to harness modern technologies
and extend the capabilities of EFS with the implementation of the eLitigation.
eLitigation leverages on content management systems and e-form technology to offer
law firms; and court users a single access point for commencement and active management
of case files throughout the litigation process. The system also provides functionalities
and related services that streamline the litigation process, thereby helping to
improve efficiency and enhance access to justice.
Filing of court documents via eLitigation in the State Courts and Supreme
Court will be implemented in stages commencing from 2 January 2013.
To start filing for Supreme Court cases, subscribers can click on
