Delete a Case (CDACDCA)

Overview

Fields

Use the Case Change/Delete form (CDACDCA) to delete a case. Certain conditions can disqualify a case from being deleted. More About Disqualifying Conditions

If you delete a case, all party and case status records for the case are also deleted. Party associations are also deleted.

If there are dockets, parties, and/or violations associated with a case, you can delete them on their respective forms (for example, delete dockets on the Docket Change/Delete form (CDACDDK)) or automatically delete them when you delete the case.

To delete a case

1. Open the Case Change/Delete form (CDACDCA).

2. Enter or search for a Case ID. Contexte fills the case information fields and automatically checks to see if the case is eligible for deletion.

  If a case is not eligible, a message informing you of this appears in the Error Message block.

3. Select the Delete button.

4. Enter the Reason for the deletion or choose one from the list.

5. Save. If there are content files (for example, text, picture, sound, or movie files) attached to the case record being deleted, you will see a message warning you of that. More information

6. Contexte asks you to confirm your request to delete the record(s) indicated in the Message area of this form. If you click:

• Yes, a second window appears that warns that this action cannot be reversed and asks if you want to continue. Select Yes to delete all records noted in the Message window. To continue, you must enter the password you use to sign on to Contexte;

• No, to cancel all deletions.

7. When you've finished, Exit the Case Change/Delete form (CDACDCA).
