Turn court orders into deadlines you won't miss

Squire™ reads a court order, summons, or notice of motion and creates todos with correctly calculated South African court-day deadlines.

Procedural deadlines are easy to miscount and expensive to miss. Give Squire™ a court order, summons, notice of motion, or directive and it reads out the timeline for you - what has already happened, and what you need to do next and by when.

How it works

  1. 1

    Point Squire™ at the document

    Run /extract-timelines on the document in a matter chat, or just ask "what are the deadlines in this order?". Squire™ can also do it automatically when a newly uploaded document reads like a court order.

  2. 2

    Review the proposed timeline

    You always see a summary first: past procedural events to add to the matter's activity stream, and future actions to create as todos with computed due dates. Relative deadlines like "10 court days from service of summons" are calculated using SA Uniform Rule 4.

  3. 3

    Stay accurate as the matter moves

    Every todo carries a citation back to the page it came from. When a step depends on an earlier one, completing the earlier todo re-anchors and recomputes the dependent deadline - so the timeline stays correct even when a step slips.

Jurisdiction-aware

  • SA court days exclude weekends and public holidays
  • Other jurisdictions fall back to Monday-Friday business days
  • Dependent deadlines cascade from the real completion date

Always under your control

  • Nothing is created until you confirm the summary
  • The matter team is notified when automatic extraction runs
  • Turn the automatic trigger off for your organisation from /triggers
