Quantum Collaborate wins 'Innovative Practice Management' at the Legal Innovation Awards 2022
4th May 2022
Last week, Quantum Collaborate won the award for 'Innovative Practice Management' at the Legal Innovation Awards 2022. The Legal Innovation Awards recognise innovation in the legal sector and for work on precedent-setting, game-changing projects and initiatives. Quantum Collaborate was recognised as a cloud-based system that provides protection to family lawyers to interface with clients and counsel on required court forms without security being jeopardized.
Quantum Collaborate is an add-on module that can be added to Quantum Cloud. It allows you to share forms, including Form E, with your client so they can start the form themselves or amend forms you have already started for them.
This system simplifies the process for you and your client and saves them money. All collaboration takes place within the security of Quantum Cloud, ensuring that sensitive data remains private.
Our Chairman, Dick Warner and Managing Director, Sophie Warner, were delighted to receive the award.
What's new in Quantum Cloud?
There have been a number of forms that have recently been updated in Quantum Cloud. As Quantum Cloud is a cloud-based program, each of these updates is automatic and available as soon as users login. Quantum Cloud contains over 100 family law forms, including divorce, financial remedy, children and Family Law Act forms. Quantum Cloud is responsive to change. New forms are automatically uploaded which reduces the risk of using outdated forms or court orders.
D8N (Nullity Application)
This form has been revised by HMCTS to take into account changes made by the DDSA 2020. This new version is in effect and can be used immediately.
D11 (Application Notice)
A new (05.22) version of this form, last revised (twice) in April 2022 to take into account changes made by the DDSA 2020, has been released by HMCTS correcting some typos. This new version is in effect and can be used immediately.
D89 (Request for personal service by a court bailiff)
This form has been revised by HMCTS to take into account changes made by the DDSA 2020. This new version is in effect and can be used immediately.
D8 (Divorce/Dissolution Application)
As the DDSA 2020 comes into effect today, a new Application for a divorce or dissolution has been released by HMCTS. It replaces the old Divorce Petition which should no longer be used. In most cases the application must be made online (as before), but here are some circumstances when this paper version should be used. This new version is in effect and can be used immediately.
D8S (Application for a (judicial) separation
This new form has been released by HMCTS, to be used instead of the new D8 when a (judicial) separation is being applied for. This form is in effect and can be used immediately.
D6 (Statement of reconciliation)
This form has been revised by HMCTS to take into account changes made by the DDSA 2020. This new version is in effect and can be used immediately.
A (Notice of a financial application (standard procedure)
This form has been revised by HMCTS to take into account changes made by the DDSA 2020. The revisions are minor and relate to terminology changes, e.g. ‘Decree Nisi’ becoming ‘Decree Nisi/conditional order’. Whilst this new version is in effect and can be used immediately, there is a transition period until 6 May 2022 during which the old version (05.20) of the form can continue to be used.
A1 (Notice of a financial application (fast-track procedure)
This form has been revised by HMCTS to take into account changes made by the DDSA 2020. The very few revisions are minor textual ones only. Whilst this new version is in effect and can be used immediately, there is a transition period until 6 May 2022 during which the old version (06.18) of the form can continue to be used.
D81 (Statement of information for a consent order)
This form has been revised by HMCTS to take into account changes made by the DDSA 2020. Again, the revisions are minor and relate to terminology changes such as ‘Decree Nisi’ becoming ‘Decree Nisi/conditional order’. Whilst this new version is in effect and can be used immediately, there is a transition period until 6 May 2022 during which the old version (05.20) of the form can continue to be used.
