What the case has cost, and what it has recovered

A rental dispute is a financial event with a calendar attached. Most offices track the calendar in someone's head and the money nowhere at all.

How it works

Every case is anchored to the contract it arose from — a bounced cheque, rent default, a breach, an eviction — so the dispute never floats free of the tenancy that caused it. Around that sit the timeline of updates, hearings, court and lawyer fees, recoveries, court and execution requests, documents and an audit trail.

Fees and recoveries post to the ledger automatically and respect closed accounting periods, so the cost of litigation appears in the profit and loss rather than living in a separate spreadsheet. Recoveries from judgments and settlements are booked as their own income.

It works with external law firms and with in-house lawyers, and a per-lawyer report shows fees paid against amounts recovered — which is how an office finds out that a particular representation is not paying for itself. Upcoming hearings surface in the notification bell so a date is not missed.

It is a tracker, and deliberately nothing more. It does not give legal advice and it does not draft notices or petitions.

Questions

Does it give legal advice or generate court documents?

No, deliberately. It records what happened, what it cost and what came back. Advice comes from your lawyer, and petitions and notices are drafted by them. Building document generation into a tracker would imply a competence the system does not have.

Can an in-house lawyer use it without seeing everything else?

Yes. There is a lawyer role that can view cases and edit the ones assigned to them, without the ability to post to the ledger or delete cases. It keeps a lawyer inside the case workspace rather than loose in the rest of the system.
