caseM8 helps litigants in person and McKenzie Friends build Scott Schedules, Witness Statements and Police Evidence Letters - clearly, factually, and with safeguarding built in from the first word.
Free safeguarding tools, always. No legal advice given — ever.
of private law family court cases in England & Wales had at least one side representing themselves, April–June 2025 — MoJ Family Court Statistics Quarterly. caseM8 was built for that reality.
No blank page, no legal jargon to decode first — just tell caseM8 what happened.
Type or speak what happened, in your own words — no particular format required to start.
Clarifying questions fill the gaps, opinions get flagged separately from fact, and every field is checked for risk as you go.
Structured the way the court expects it — ready to copy or print once you have access.
No generic drafting. Each flow is built around the exact structure family courts expect to see.
Guided, item-by-item entry that produces a properly formatted schedule — no missed columns, no inconsistent numbering.
Keeps fact and opinion clearly separated as you write, so what you submit holds up to scrutiny.
A clear, correctly addressed request letter for evidence — built from what actually happened, not assumptions.
A note on bundling: caseM8 helps you write these documents — it doesn't compile them into a single paginated court bundle. Whether you need one isn't always down to you: bundling responsibility can fall to whichever side has legal representation, or to the court itself, depending on your case. If you do need to prepare one, a McKenzie Friend or a dedicated bundle tool can help with that last step.
The same document, two ways.
| Doing it yourself | With caseM8 | |
|---|---|---|
| Time | Hours, often redone after being sent back | ~20–30 minutes, guided |
| Format | Easy to miss what the court expects to see | Structured to match it, every time |
| Fact vs. opinion | Easy to blur under stress — courts push back on this | Flagged separately, automatically |
| Safeguarding | Nobody's checking for risk as you write | Checked at every field, not just at the end |

No. caseM8 is a formatting aid — it helps structure what you tell it into the format a court expects. It never invents facts, and it doesn't tell you what to argue or how your case should go. Always review the result yourself, or with someone qualified to advise you, before relying on it.
Courts care about the document meeting the required structure and being an accurate, honest account in your own words — not about what tool helped you format it. caseM8 builds each document to match what the court expects to see (see our comparison above), and never adds anything you didn't tell it.
caseM8 currently covers Scott Schedules, Witness Statements, and Police Evidence Request letters — the documents most litigants in person and McKenzie Friends need most often. If your case needs something else, this may not be the right tool for that particular document yet.
No — that's the point. You tell caseM8 what happened in your own words, and it asks clarifying questions where it needs more detail, then structures the result the way the court expects it.
Yes — see exactly what happens to what you type or say, confirmed directly rather than assumed, on our Facts & Info page.
