Document Availability in PACFile

The Document Name(s) column, appearing in several locations throughout PACFile, may contain the documents associated to a corresponding participant filing or a communication from the court. The names of these documents are displayed as either active (clickable) or inactive (non-clickable) links which reflect an individual's ability to view the corresponding document.

On a Commonwealth Court case, a PACFile user's ability to view these documents electronically is based on a combination of the docket type and their association to one or more of the case participants. Typically, PACFile users associated to a participant in either a moving (ex. Petitioner or Objector) or opposing (ex. Respondent) role can see all the documents on a given case. You can recognize the availability of a document by the appearance of the Document icon .

The availability of documents for PACFile users associated to participants in third or non-party roles (ex. Amicus or Intervenor) can be much more limited. In these roles, an individual's ability to view participant-filed documents may be limited to those filed on behalf of the case participant to which they are associated. Other documents may be unavailable altogether. If any attorney is representing multiple participants in varying roles, their ability to view documents is based on the participant role that offers the most document availability.

No attorneys, pro se participants, or other individuals, who are not actively participating on a case, can view any of the corresponding documents under any circumstances.

Refer to the table below for the document availability of each docket type and participant role combination:
