The Judiciary today announced that its existing e-Appointment services will be extended to self-bankruptcy petitions and probate applications in the High Court on Friday.

Unrepresented court users can make online appointments for attending the High Court Registry to file petitions for their own bankruptcy.

Registered users of "iAM Smart" may use the auto form-filling function to provide relevant personal data for making online appointments.

The auto form-filling function will gradually be included in other e-Appointment services in light of operational experience, the Judiciary said.

In addition, the Probate Registry e-Appointment service for applications for grant will be extended to cover probate applications.

Unrepresented litigants can make online appointments for submitting applications for a grant with a will.

Apart from noting that its other e-Appointment services introduced earlier have generally been well received so far, the Judiciary emphasised that such services have saved court users' time by reducing the need to queue.
