Case Appender is one of the components of Openlaw Case Builder.

 

 

It appears in the first Tab of the composite screen:

 

Its function is to append two Openlaw Cases to each other. The most obvious use for this is where a bureau is supplying data in tranches to allow the user to get on with one batch whilst another is being scanned and coded, or where after-acquired Items (such as an opponent's Disclosure List) are provided as a separate Case.

Another function of Case Appender is to enable version upgrades without the need to return the Case to your distributor. If you have your own copy of Case Appender, the addition of further Items can take place with minimal interruption to ongoing work.
