North Carolina E-Filing System Lawsuit Resolved, Ensuring Improved Access to Legal Filings

North Carolina court administrators have indicated that a 2023 lawsuit brought by Courthouse News Service concerning the state’s e-filing system has been resolved. The lawsuit alleged that the system led to significant delays in accessing new civil suits. However, according to the administrators, the courts are now providing access to filings at a pace that surpasses constitutional requirements, following initial challenges during the software’s rollout. The resolution of this issue comes as an important development for entities relying on timely access to legal documents in North Carolina.
