After preparing your initial documents and affidavits, you enter Stage 3: a phase all about transparency and sharing information. This is where you and the other party formally exchange all relevant documents and evidence related to your case. The Stage 3 Pack is your guide to mastering this critical process, ensuring you understand your legal obligations and avoid serious penalties.

Why You Need This Pack:

• Avoid Serious Penalties: Your duty of disclosure is a continuous legal obligation that the court takes very seriously. The guides will help you understand the severe consequences of non-compliance, such as evidence being blocked, cost orders against you, or even contempt of court.
• Ensure a Fair Outcome: Full and frank disclosure ensures everyone has all the facts needed to make informed decisions. This can help you focus on the real issues and reach a fair agreement without a long, costly court battle.
• Stay Organized and Proactive: The pack helps you keep track of all your documents and evidence, reducing stress and saving time. You'll learn to create an organized Index of Discoverable Documents, which looks professional and demonstrates your seriousness to the court.
• Understand Key Legal Tools: You will learn what an "Undertaking as to Disclosure" is and how to use it as a formal, personal promise to the court that you've complied with your duty. You'll also learn about subpoenas, a formal court order used to obtain documents or evidence from a third party.
