What happens if the Documents filed by an attorney contain errors or omissions?
In some instances (just as courts do today with paper documents) the court may reject a filing. You will be confirmed by e-mail if the filing contained errors or was incomplete. If a filing is rejected, the court’s clerk will specify exactly why it was rejected and then allow you to correct the document and resubmit it. However, to actually complete a filing, the E-Filing.com user interface requires a user to add certain court-mandated information to a filing even before it is transmitted to the court. This minimizes the likelihood of a filing being returned because of procedural omissions or form deficiencies. The court may also reject a document if the filing fee chosen by you is incorrect. E-filing.com can advance the needed fees if you are a customer with a preset credit approval.
