Why people love Delium

The course of the hearing was greatly accelerated … I would estimate in the vicinity of 25 to 30 per cent with proportional cost savings.

Justice John SlatteryAO, QC

A better "Quality of Justice" by - Increasing the capacity to better examine the full range of evidence; allowing more witnesses and more exhibits, in less time; and allowing more access to the courts.

The Hon. Justice Tim Smith Supreme Court of Victoria

It (Delium - Systematics Court) was a pleasure to use … I have since returned to the comparative frustration of conventional techniques of using hard copy documents and transcript.

Justice David BlebySouth Australian Supreme Court

The use of evidence presentation technology (Delium) accelerated the proceedings by at least 50%, probably significantly more.

Justice Trevor CooperHigh Court of New Zealand

The Trial ran for 158 days without specialist operational support.

Justice Trevor CooperHigh Court of New Zealand

Delium was comfortably used by all concerned.

eHearing Participant

The hyperlinking in transcript was very effective and the side-by-side view made nightly review very easy.

eHearing Participant

Delium’s Publish to User functionality meant we could share documents with our team, opposing Counsel and the Court, without exposing them to the witness.

eHearing Participant

The ability for legal practitioners to control document publication made the process seamless.

Presiding Judge

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

eHearing Participant

Everything has gone incredibly smoothly from a technical perspective and the parties are totally on board with preparing examination lists in advance, making the presentation process much more manageable.

eHearing Participant

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

eHearing Participant

Delium was a pleasure to use. I found that I was doing my own searches and retrieving information without delay, difficulty or interruption to the conduct of the trial. On some occasions, I even began to feel frustrated when Counsel, relying on hard copy documents, were causing minor delays.

Justice David Bleby South Australian Supreme Court

Delium provides new horizons, not only of efficiency but of availability and quality of information.

eHearing Participant

The speed of access to obscure passages by simple and efficient search processes saved enormous time in retrieval. The text was presented in a form that was easy to read, as indeed were the documents and the data relating to them.

eHearing Participant

The ability to be 'on the same, but personalised, page' at all times and for all involved is a GAME CHANGER!

eHearing Participant

This is the first time in my history of working on cases that I can walk into a courtroom with just my laptop.

eHearing Participant

The ability to upload our examination outlines into a private space and hyperlink to the evidence we wanted to present in a matter of minutes was wonderful. Delium made me feel in full control of the examination process.

eHearing Participant

The availability of such a comprehensive record after hearings was invaluable in the creation of my arbitral determination.

Professor John SharkeyArbitrator

Delium's hyperlinking tool is amazing - it saved me hours of work.
