Frequently asked questions
Who writes the rulings?
A computer judge writes every ruling automatically, following the court's rules for tone and fairness. Rulings are entertainment, not legal advice.
Does the person who files always win?
No. The court decides on the facts in the complaint. Plaintiffs are found right in most cases, but a good share end in both at fault or not guilty.
Who can see my case?
Only people who have the link. Case pages are unlisted, use a long random address, and are never shown to search engines. A case appears in the public record only if you opt in and an editor anonymizes and approves it.
I was named in a case. How do I remove it?
Open the case and tap "This is about me, remove it". The case is hidden right away and the page shows that it was withdrawn. You can also send a request from the privacy choices page.
Can I get a different ruling if I don't like it?
No. Rulings are final and cannot be regenerated. The only way to change one is an appeal by the defendant, decided by the Court of Appeal.
Do I need an account?
To file a case, yes: create one with your email, a username and a password, and confirm the email with the code we send. Your first two cases are free. Defendants and witnesses answer through the link, without an account.
What does it cost?
Your first two cases are free. After that a case costs one credit, full judgment included. During the launch offer every plan is 50% off: 0.99 for one credit (US dollars in the United States, euros everywhere else), or packs of 5, 15 or 40 that bring it down to 0.25. A ruling now or an appeal is also one credit. Credits never expire and there is no subscription.
How long are cases kept?
Free cases are deleted after 30 days. Full judgments stay until you delete them or a takedown is accepted. Complaints the court turns away are deleted after 7 days.
Is there an age limit?
Yes. You must be 16 or older to file a case.
Which languages does the court speak?
English and Romanian. The court writes each ruling in the language of the case, not as a translation.
