RE: [legalxml-courtfiling-comment] FilingCompletionDate

["Cabral, James E." <JCabral@mtgmc.com>]

Gary,

 

I remember we had quite a few discussions on what dates we need to track in the course of a filing.  I believe we made a distinction between the official date of filing and the date the filing process was completed since, in some cases, a clerk may make the official date of filing a different date than the date it was reviewed/accepted by the clerk and entered into the case record.   I believe the intent was to use DocumentEffectiveDate for the official date of filing.  The definition is “the date on which an entry in the docket or register of action in the court CMS was completed for a filing.”  That element is present in both the RecordDocketingMessage and RecordDocketingCallbackMessage.

 

Does this make sense?

 

  Thanks,

Subject: [legalxml-courtfiling-comment] FilingCompletionDate

 

When the Filing Review MDE invokes the RecordFiling operation on the Court Record MDE, acceptance of the submission has already occurred (i.e. see ECF4 3.2.6 RecordFiling ‘If the clerk reviews and accepts the filing, the Filing Review MDE MUST invoke the RecordFiling operation on the Court Record MDE.’). The invocation is supposed to include ‘information from the ReviewFiling operation with any modifications or comments by the clerk.’

 

However, the date and time of the filing review completion is not communicated to RecordFiling. It appears that this information is intended for the FilingCompletionDate element which is described as ‘The date and time on which the review filing process was completed by transmitting a proposed filing to the court record MDE for filing or by returning it to the filer as rejected.’

 

It appears that this element has been misapplied to the RecordDocketingCallbackMessage when it should have been placed onto the RecordDocketingMessage. It is the RecordDocketingMessage that is transmitted from the Filing Review MDE when the RecordFiling operation is invoked. The RecordDocketingCallbackMessage is asynchronously returned in NotifyDocketingComplete.
