How to access a Ukrainian case file in E-Court: the request, electronic case access and paper materials
Documents appear in a cabinet once the court enters your tax number or company code in the participant record. A dedicated request template asks the court to do it.
The Lawestro team · Updated
The request
File the template “Request to review case materials electronically (entering the tax number / EDRPOU code in the participant record and granting access to the electronic case)”. Attorneys use the same template. When paper materials exist, the court scans them into the electronic case upon such a request.
- Sign in and choose your role.
- Create the request in the court currently holding the case.
- Enter the case number, your status and the code to add, attach the power of attorney if needed.
- Sign, send and check the cabinet after the court acts.
Do it in Lawestro
Once your cabinet is connected, Lawestro syncs the cases, documents and attachments your key can access, extracts their text and lets you search the whole file, build a chronology or an evidence list with links to each document. The agent can also prepare the access request as an E-Court draft.
Example task for the agent
Build a chronology of case No. ... from all documents in my cabinet, mark each side’s evidence and list documents missing from the electronic file.
Expected result
A dated chronology with document links, an evidence table and a list of missing materials.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I pay a court fee to read the file?
- The Law “On Court Fee” sets no fee for reviewing the file itself; copies and recordings are charged separately.
