Civil and Family Courts across the Lancashire & Merseyside will begin publishing hearing information on the Court and Tribunal Hearings service (CaTH) from the 3rd November 2025.
The Court and Tribunal Hearings service (CaTH) will be HMCTS’s lead service where all HMCTS public and press hearing information will be published to uphold the principles of open justice. The aim of the service is to provide professional users, the media and the public access to hearing information in a clear and consistent way on GOV.UK.
CaTH contains a verified user space where legal professionals and members of the media can access enhanced information that they are entitled to, but that should not be in the public domain.
To provide smoother access for legal professional users, CaTH is integrated with MyHMCTS, the case management system for the Civil, Family and Tribunals jurisdiction and will soon also integrate with Common Platform for criminal court hearing information.
Please read the user guide for Legal Professionals and members of the media, where it explains how you can create an account to view information and subscribe to hearing lists of interest.
If you need additional support with your MyHMCTS account, please email MyHMCTSsupport@justice.gov.uk. We aim to respond to your email within 5 working days.
