The Challenge

A high-profile criminal matter involving an Inquest, Trial, Appeal, and Inquiry stretching from 1995 to 2012, was set for a Retiral in 2018. The evidence included audio, video, photographs and documents.

Transcript from the earlier proceedings ran into 1000’s of pages.

The legal teams and court administration staff had been managing evidence in Delium since the Appeal in 2012. As the 2018 Retrial approached the legal teams involved, and the court staff were determined to run the hearing without external specialist support.

Delium Strategy

In the months before the trial commenced, a Delium affiliate provided additional training to the Court staff on new Delium features, including the Judge. The affiliate aslo worked with the Courts Administration to ensure the Courtroom was configured suitably.

Both prosecution and defence teams had access to a private Delium case to manage their analysis and pre-trial preparation. They also received a single training session each, a couple of months out from trial.

During trial, each party made extensive use of Delium’s Publish List functionality to prepare documents to be called during proceedings. Interestingly they adopted different strategies for how they bundled these documents in Delium.

One party created bundles focused on the issues that were to be examined in the case and then created sub-folders for each relevant witness.

Issue 1

  • Witness 1
  • Witness 2
  • Witness 3

The other party created bundles per hearing day then created sub-folders for each relevant witness.

Day 1

  • Witness 1
  • Witness 2
  • Witness 3

Each party’s preferred methodology was easily supported by the flexibility offered in Delium Publish Lists.

The Court appointed operator was given access to each parties Publish Lists and could display the evidence as it was referred to through the click of a single button.

Ultimately the trial ran for almost six months without any external support or further training required.

Client Feedback

“Delium has been bulletproof, it has evolved in interesting and useful ways since I first started using it.”

“One word – Faultless!”

“Everything has gone incredibly smoothly from a technical perspective and the parties are totally on board with preparing examination lists for access during the day which has made the presentation process much more manageable.”

“Counsel are starting to see how efficient things can be when they prepare their publish lists in advance and they can be confident the required document will be available when they need it.”

Why people love Delium

We were presented with 10 folders, the whole case, a little later we were looking at millions – with Delium this wasn’t a problem.
We needed a litigation support environment that would capitalise on our specialist capabilities and perform under very taxing circumstances. Delium delivered what we needed!
Designer
Using Delium significantly reduced our clients cost of running the proceedings because most of the time we could work from offices in our home cities rather than travelling to work together.
