1. Before you start

This guide is for respondent solicitors. Before you can access financial remedy services using MyHMCTS, you and your organisation must have completed other steps:

1. Set up a HMCTS Payment by Account (so that you can pay any relevant fees)
2. Registered your organisation with MyHMCTS
3. Set up your MyHMCTS user account

The MyHMCTS guidance has further information and instructions. If your organisation has an account already, contact the administrator to arrange for your account creation.

Once you have a MyHMCTS account, using your email address and password.

If you are nominated as the respondent solicitor but your case administrator cannot find the case, it means either:

• the case has not yet been served on you, or
• the applicant was not able to add your details to the case to give you digital access to the file

In these circumstances you will need to continue to correspond with the court by paper. You will receive updates on your case, orders and letters by post.

2. Accept and assign a case

1. The applicant鈥檚 solicitor will have entered an email address for your firm when they set up the case on the system. Find the cases sent to your firm in the 鈥楿nassigned cases鈥� tab.

2. You will see tabs for the different case types 鈥� 鈥楧ivorce鈥�, 鈥楩inancial Remedy Contested鈥� and 鈥楩inancial Remedy MVP2鈥� (for consent cases). Choose the appropriate financial remedy tab to show a list of cases.

3. Find the case in the case list and check the box. Then select 鈥楽hare case鈥�.

4. Enter the email address of the solicitor you are assigning the case to. Then select add. If you need to add any more email addresses, you can repeat this step.

5. Once you added all the email address you need to, select continue.

6. The next page shows you the case names and case number. Check you have the correct case 鈥� if you need to, select 鈥楥hange鈥� to go back to the case list and select a different case. If you are happy you have the correct case, select 鈥楥onfirm鈥�.

7. You will then see a screen telling you your cases have been updated and that your colleagues will now be able to access them from their case list.
