What is Compliant?
Compliant is a reference tool for legal professionals and students that compiles the English and Welsh legal system's Procedure Rules in a streamlined and intuitive interface.
Compliant is still the rules as you know them - the basic content is exactly the same. So what is the point of another app? Aside from being so much easier, Compliant has a bunch of other features that make it special. Whether you're a student, legal professional, barrister, solicitor, or even a Judge - Compliant can help make your job just that little bit easier by pooling all the resources you need in one place.
Currently supporting the Civil Procedure Rules and various tools such as the Court Finder and A-Z Court's list, 'favourite' Rules feature, and integrated offline-storing of Rules and constantly updating Practice Directions, Compliant really is a one-stop-shop. Keeping things streamlined, if you're heading off to Court, you can jump from a Court page straight into your phone's Maps application for directions or just to get your bearings on the location.
Compliant has functionality for both beginners and experts. If you know exactly what you're looking for and where to find it, then tap in the rule number and let the app take you there without any fuss. Not sure what you're looking for? Use the Justice.gov search page in a neat, clean and distraction-free format just like you might do on the Justice.gov website, then jump into a rule as you wish. You can even search for words or phrases on the rules pages like a standard web-browser. Everything is just easier.
Features
Aside from the obvious, there are a few features that help Compliant stand out.
INTUITIVE INTERFACE
The Justice website can be tricky to navigate, particularly on your mobile. We use the same content, we just make it easier.
ONLINE, OFFLINE, NO WORRIES.
Every time you open up a Rule or a Court Form, Compliant will automatically cache it for offline use. It'll then automatically update every time you open it when you you're connected to the internet.
TOGETHERNESS-NESS.
If you use a particular Rule or Court Form often, it can be tricky to keep track of all your 'added to favourites' links. Compliant has a page dedicated to your 'favourites', keeping them all in one place.
Add any rule (and its Practice Directions) to your 'Favourites' within the app, with just the tap of a button, no more messy bookmarks!
Tools available on justice.gov.uk website are reformatted and reworked into app format, such as the Court Finder and all Court Forms.
Compliant automatically updates itself every time you open a Rule. It's constantly checking for new and updated Practice Directions.
Compliant automatically stores every Rule (and its Practice Directions) for offline use, so it doesn't matter where you are when you need it.
Compliant is lightweight, so even if you've got every Rule and Practice Direction saved (that's a lot), the app won't overburden your phone!
No nonsense search features are integrated into the Rule pages, and there's also a streamlined Search tool for the Justice.Gov site
