A document bundle is a collection of files presented in a specific order that can be used to present information in a Court hearing. An electronic document bundle is the same process, but created digitally and in a far more efficient way.
There is nothing wrong with building court bundles manually, but if you want to save time, paper and keep your files/bundles secure with automatically created hyperlinked index pages and bookmarks, then electronic document bundling is the way to go. The legal technology is recognised as "best practice" by UK law courts and Zylpha Bundling is widely accepted as the "go-to" tool for legal teams of all sizes.
The Zylpha electronic bundling platform has been designed to comply with many different Court guidelines relevant to bundles. Visit our dedicated Court Bundle Guidelines page for more information.
