We’ve got a mahoosive set of medical records for a case that’s listed for hearing.

Does anyone know if there’s a max file limit?

We’re quite new to track your appeal; email usually works.

It needs to be less than 10 MB

At the risk of being rude/impolite, if 10MB is correct then that is pathetic and very 1996. Would expect nothing less from HMCTS to be fair though. Everything is very 1996… but apparently absolutely fantastic if you listen to them up top or on “engagement” duty.

Solution is easy enough but time consuming when you’re working anywhere busy (and is anywhere not busy?) at present. Just print to pdf and create lots of smaller files. Alternatively wait until you have an appeals ref. and irritate the heck out of the contact centres et al by emailing the full files to them and asking them get them across to Lerpwl.

This assumes that the contact centres have a more sensible file size limit for email. No logical reason why they should but I’ve managed to get 20 or 30MB across on at least one occasion by email so perhaps the limit is higher.

The die is cast with 23Mb. Lets see if they come back. Our attachment limit is the max 50 meg so we’ll see what happens.

Lerpwl?

High end restaurant in Liverpool but also the Welsh term for Liverpool.

I occasionally go Welsh when grumpy.
