Used by professional bundle builders and informed by ongoing feedback
The problem
Even experienced professionals get caught out by Court bundles:
- Page numbers don’t match the index.
- Bookmarks are missing or unreadable.
- Documents are duplicated, un‑OCR’d, or incorrectly ordered.
- File sizes are rejected.
The problem is that most guidance focuses on theory, just repeating the same guidance and Practice Directions over and over.
This checklist focuses on what actually goes wrong and how to catch it before filing.
