Litigation Production Sets & Bates Numbering

Check document bundles and page numbering against the needs of your case. Confirm the available history; these tools do not guarantee that a court will accept a bundle.

How it works and what to check

Producing documents in litigation, regulatory investigations, or arbitration is a high-stakes exercise. Miss a relevant document and you risk sanctions. Produce a privileged document by accident and you risk waiver. Number the pages incorrectly and the entire bundle becomes unreliable as evidence. Dockria's Production Sets feature is built specifically to make this process fast, accurate, and defensible.

Once relevance, privilege, and responsiveness review is complete, drag the qualifying documents into a matter-specific production set. The set is assembled in a controlled environment that is isolated from your live document repository, so additions, removals, and re-orderings during preparation never affect the underlying records. Reviewers can sign off on the contents before the set is finalised.

When the set is locked, automatic sequential numbering is applied to every page in the bundle, the time-honoured Bates numbering convention that opposing counsel, courts, and arbitrators rely on to reference specific pages without ambiguity. Number prefixes, padding, and starting values are configurable per matter, so each production follows the convention agreed for that case.

Confirm the required production format, numbering and delivery evidence with the recipient. The supplied assessment does not establish court acceptance, complete production-event logging or legal defensibility. Permitted file downloads and metadata or audit exports have access and size limits.
