Common questions
How does the court finder work?
Enter your UK postcode and the type of legal issue. The tool queries the GOV.UK Find a Court or Tribunal service and returns the nearest courts or tribunals that handle that area of law, sorted by distance.
Does the finder cover tribunals as well as courts?
Yes. The tool covers County Courts, Family Courts, Crown Courts, Magistrates' Courts, and all First-tier Tribunals — including Employment, Immigration and Asylum, Tax, SEND and Property Chamber.
How accurate are the results?
Results come directly from HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS). Distances are straight-line, not road distance. For hearings where venue is assigned by the court (for example, many tribunal cases), confirm the venue on any papers the court sends you.
What if I don't know what type of court I need?
Leave the area dropdown on 'All courts and tribunals' and you will see the nearest venues of every type. Read the court types shown on each result — BundleCreator's practice-area pages explain which court handles which issue.
Can BundleCreator help me prepare a bundle for the court I find?
Yes — every result links through to the specific court's page where relevant, and our templates cover 22 areas of UK law with PD27A-aligned formatting, automatic pagination and indexing. A 14-day free trial is included.
