Our capabilities
Categories for the business services HMCTS provides across the justice system.
Each API published on the marketplace sits within one of the following capabilities. Use these categories, and the domain filter in the API catalogue, to find the right API for your integration.
Case administration
Creating, updating and retrieving the administrative record of a case — status, parties, and case type — across crime, civil, family and tribunal jurisdictions.
Hearing results
Recording and retrieving the outcome of a hearing, including orders made and results recorded once a hearing has concluded.
Scheduling and listing
Publishing and retrieving court and tribunal listings — which cases are being heard, where, and when.
Reference data
Canonical, shared reference data used across HMCTS services — courts, venues, case types and jurisdiction codes — so teams do not each maintain their own copy.
Financial
Fee calculation and payment transaction data for court and tribunal fees.
