Free software for people representing themselves in the courts of England & Wales. Enter your details once — 78 official court forms fill themselves in, deadlines calculate themselves, and replies to the other side's solicitors draft themselves for your review. It runs on your own computer. Your case never leaves it.
Free. No account. No upload. Windows, Mac & Linux — see downloads.
Every claim below comes from running the software against every form with a completed profile, and counting.
official court forms downloaded from GOV.UK and kept up to date, automatically
of every text box across all 78 forms fills itself from details you enter once
of a typical family form is filled or correctly marked "leave blank" before you touch it
bytes of your case sent to us — there is no server to send it to
What's left for you is what only you can provide: your own account of events, your choices, and your signature — which is exactly what a court requires to be yours. Every filled form comes with a colour-coded review copy showing what was filled, what to leave blank, and what still needs you.
One file. No account, no sign-up, no payment wall. The first run sets itself up — including double-click launchers so you never need a terminal again.
Your details, the other side, children if relevant, dates, amounts — or just upload the letter before action you sent or received, and it reads the details out itself.
Pick FL401, C100, N244, any of the 78. The identity boxes, party details, dates and money boxes are filled; the review copy shows green for done, grey for leave-blank, amber for "this needs you".
Chasing a reply, an unreasonable deadline, a settlement offer — pick the situation and get two or three ready-to-review drafts, with the matching document (a draft consent order, a schedule of documents) produced alongside where one is needed.
Built by a litigant in person, for litigants in person — every feature exists because the paperwork demanded it.
There is no server. There is no account. There is nothing to leak.
The software runs entirely on your computer. The only times it touches the internet are the ones you trigger yourself: downloading official forms from GOV.UK, and — only if you choose to add one — AI drafting through your own key. Court cases involve children's details, protected addresses and financial statements. The safest place for that information is the one place it already is: with you. A one-click backup keeps a copy safe on a USB stick or your own cloud drive.
Free, for everyone, always. If it helps you, pay what you can afterwards.
One file, nothing to install first. Download, open, done.
Download LitigantInPerson.exe Windows 10 / 11 · 64-bitThe full, readable source. Runs anywhere Python does — Windows, Mac, Linux. Read every line before you trust it with your case.
Download the Python file Requires Python 3 (free, python.org) · installs its own libraries on first runLegal help costs hundreds of pounds an hour, which is exactly why you're here. So the software is free, completely, with no locked features and no trial clock. If it saves you time, stress or money and you can afford to, a contribution keeps it maintained and free for the people who can't. If you can't — use it, win, and tell someone else about it.
Contribute what you canNo. It's a tool that automates the mechanical parts — filling forms, calculating deadlines, drafting letters for your review. It doesn't know the facts of your case and no solicitor–client relationship exists. You are responsible for checking every document before you sign, send or file it. Statements of truth carry consequences if false.
The courts of England & Wales: family court, county court and High Court civil claims, money claims, landlord possession, the Court of Protection, and post-judgment enforcement. Tribunals (like employment) file online — the drafting and deadline tools still help you prepare, and the software says so plainly rather than pretending otherwise.
Nowhere. Everything lives in a folder on your own computer. The software has no server, no account system and no analytics. The only network activity is downloading official forms from GOV.UK and, if you add your own AI key, drafting through your own account.
There isn't one. No locked features, no trial period, no ads, no selling data — there's no data to sell. It's funded by voluntary contributions from people it helped and organisation licences for advice charities.
The software checks GOV.UK weekly and tells you the moment a form you use has a newer version, with a one-click update. New form versions map themselves automatically.
Trust nothing blindly — including this. That's why the full source code is downloadable and readable, why every filled form comes with a review copy for checking, why nothing is ever sent without you pressing send, and why the software tells you exactly which boxes it filled and which it left for you.
