uin	86539
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2020 answer text <p>The introduction of a new digital case management system in March 2019 changed the business process for accounting for the receipt date of applications which need to be held due to errors or missing documentation. The change enabled more transparent and accurate reporting of waiting times and these timings are now included in published official statistics.</p><p>It also coincided with legislative change to the probate application process which removed the need for applicants to travel to town centre locations to swear an oath before a court officer or a commissioner for oaths. The receipt date was previously recorded from the date an application had been checked whereas it is now recorded from the date of first receipt by the probate service.</p><p>The figures since the introduction of the new digital case management system are therefore not directly comparable to the old system.</p><p>The current waiting times are published on gov.uk via Family Court Statistics Quarterly (Table 26).</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 14/09/2020 17:01:06 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
