Join Professional (waitlist)

For credit professionals who need to see more than most.

CourtList tells you what's happening — right now, in Australian courts, against the counterparties you've been watching.

The Professional plan is for the individual credit manager, risk analyst, collections professional, or business owner who needs to move earlier and with more confidence than the market around them. When the court record changes, you know before your competitors do.

THE VALUE CASE

How is CourtList different from a credit bureau?

Credit bureaus tell you what happened — payment defaults, credit enquiries, judgments already registered. CourtList tells you what's happening right now, in Australian courts, before any of that shows up on a bureau report. The gap between a court filing appearing in CourtList and the same event appearing on a credit bureau is typically 60 to 120 days. That gap is where bad debts are either prevented or confirmed.
What is a QLEI score, and why does it matter?

QLEI — Quantified Litigation Exposure Index — is a 0–100 risk score calculated from a counterparty's active court record: the number and dollar value of cases, whether insolvency proceedings are involved, whether a government creditor like the ATO is a plaintiff, how recent the filings are, and whether the entity is a serial defendant. It converts a complex, multi-case court record into a single number your credit policy can act on. Low (0–24), Moderate (25–49), High (50–74), Critical (75–100).
What's the ROI of a paid CourtList plan?

One prevented bad debt write-off typically pays for 6–12 months of a Professional plan. The calculation is straightforward: take your average annual bad debt write-off figure. Estimate that 60–80% of commercial write-offs have prior court signals visible weeks or months before the payment failure. Estimate a 20–30% reduction in preventable write-offs from acting on those signals. Compare that saving to the plan cost. For most credit teams, the ROI is not close.

THE DATA

Which courts does CourtList monitor?
How current is the data?
How accurate is CourtList data?

CourtList data reflects what is filed in Australian courts — public record. The accuracy question is really about entity matching: ensuring the court record belongs to your counterparty, not a different entity with a similar name. CourtList achieves over 99% accuracy on ABN-anchored business profiles. For common names without ABN confirmation, confidence scoring flags uncertain matches for review before alerts are sent. Users can always submit corrections — and we act on them.
Is it legal to use court data for credit decisions?

Yes. Australian court proceedings are public record. Using publicly available court data for credit risk assessment is lawful under Australian privacy law, provided it is used for a legitimate purpose, handled accurately, and individuals have access to correction processes. CourtList is compliant with the Privacy Act 1988. Using court data for commercial credit decisions is a recognised legitimate purpose. If you need specific legal advice on your use case, engage a qualified adviser — but this is established practice among Australian lenders, government agencies, and credit teams.

PLANS AND COMMITMENT

ENTERPRISE AND TEAMS

How do I know if my organisation belongs on Enterprise rather than Teams?

Teams is designed for a single credit or collections function of up to 10 people working from shared intelligence. Enterprise is for organisations where the scale, compliance requirements, or integration needs go beyond that — multiple departments, regulatory reporting obligations, CRM or data lake integration requirements, or the need for Chinese walls between teams. If you're a bank, a government agency, a large secured lender, or a law firm with a significant practice, start with a demo rather than a trial.
What does "no Chinese walls" mean on the Teams plan — and when do I need them?

"No Chinese walls" on the Teams plan means all team members share the same intelligence — they can all see each other's watchlists and alerts. That's ideal for a credit or collections team working together. Chinese walls — where different users or teams can only see their own data — are required in some organisations for conflict-of-interest or compliance reasons: law firms acting for multiple parties in the same matter, financial institutions with separated business units, or government agencies with privacy obligations. Chinese walls are configurable on Enterprise plans.
How accurate is CourtList data?

CourtList data reflects what is filed in Australian courts — public record. The accuracy question is really about entity matching: ensuring the court record belongs to your counterparty, not a different entity with a similar name. CourtList achieves over 99% accuracy on ABN-anchored business profiles. For common names without ABN confirmation, confidence scoring flags uncertain matches for review before alerts are sent. Users can always submit corrections — and we act on them.
Can CourtList integrate with our CRM or data systems?

On the Professional and Teams plans, CourtList includes HubSpot integration as standard — QLEI scores sync to Contact and Company records, and workflows can be triggered on score changes. For deeper integrations — Salesforce, Dynamics, custom CRMs, data lakes, core banking systems — Enterprise plan API access is available via AWS or similar. Bring your integration requirements to the demo and we'll confirm what's possible.

PROOF AND TRUST

Who already uses CourtList?

The ATO, state government agencies, banks, secured lenders, credit committees, debt recovery firms, and law firms. CourtList is used at both ends of the credit relationship — by large creditors managing significant portfolio exposure, and by legal teams assessing counterparty risk in litigation.
