What This Video Covers
Every bundle starts with one page — not your strongest evidence, but an index. This short explainer covers what an index must do under the rules of England and Wales, why manually-produced bundles fall down when a document moves, and how BundleCreator regenerates the index automatically every time you add, reorder or upload.

Every bundle starts with one page. Not your most important document. Not your strongest evidence. An index. The index is the bundle's table of contents. It is the page the judge goes to, and it is the map they use to navigate everything that follows.
In a busy list — and most lists are busy — the judge may have only a short window to read before your hearing. The index is how they find things quickly. A document without an entry is a document that can be missed. A page number that does not match is a document the judge gives up looking for.
Across the courts and tribunals of England and Wales, an index must do three things. First, beside the title page, it is the first page of the bundle. Second, it must list documents in the same order they appear in the bundle. And third, the page numbers in the index must match the page numbers in the bundle exactly.
That last point is where most manually-produced bundles fall down. Move a document, insert a page, and the index is suddenly wrong. BundleCreator generates your index automatically. Every document you add, every page you upload, every time you reorder — the index updates itself. Section letters, document titles, dates, authors, and page ranges are all kept in sync.
You do not re-paginate. You do not re-type. You do not check twice. When your bundle is exported, the index looks the way the court expects — clean, neatly ruled, with section letters, clear document names, and accurate page references. It is the first impression of your case, and it reads as a professional bundle. The index is small. Its impact is large.
