The Integrated Electronic Litigation System "iELS" has been conceptualised to replace the existing Electronic Filing System “EFS” which was started in the early 1990s to provide an electronic framework for law firms to file documents to the Courts electronically over the Internet.

iELS will establish an integrated standard system with new capabilities and enhanced functions such a template-based filing, integrated due-diligence, case and data validation with agencies, case management and tracking, and resource management.

This new system will provide a transparent, seamless and secure operating environment for law firms, litigants and the Judiciary to interact with each other. It will address the needs such as case tracking and management, practice management and billing systems.  iELS will also facilitate interoperability with evidence management and presentation technologies to enable hearings to be conducted in open court or in chambers.
