File a New Case
A proceeding begins when a Plaintiff/Appellant files a Complaint electronically through CAAM. The Statement of Facts should ordinarily be filed with the Complaint, either as a Statement of Agreed Facts or, where agreement cannot reasonably be obtained after good-faith efforts, as an Ex Parte Statement of Facts. Absence of a Statement of Facts does not prevent commencement if the Complaint is properly filed.
File a New Case
Case ID format: SC + filing date (DDMMYY) + first three letters of the Plaintiff/Appellant’s first name + five-digit sequence. Example: SC251026SAM00001.
Upon submission, CAAM creates a new Electronic Case File with temporary status Pending Review and records the filing timestamp.
