How will the “filing date” be determined when a filing is submitted utilizing the E-filing System?
A submitted filing will be deemed filed the same date it is submitted, regardless of what time of day, with proper payment provided that the filing is in compliance with the rules of civil procedure. Furthermore, filers will have the option of submitting a filing without payment at the time of submission provided that payment is made at the courthouse within five (5) business days of submission. If this “pay at the courthouse” option is selected, the filing will be marked “filed” on the date payment is received provided that the filing is in compliance with the rules of civil procedure. If for some limited reasons the filing is rejected after clerk review, the filing will be marked “filed” on the date when re-submitted correctly.
