When the Secretary for Justice gets your contact information from the chief executive, they need to do a few things. First, they will figure out which District Court office should handle your case. Then, they will send your contact information to the person in charge at that District Court office. Finally, they will let you know that they have sent your information to that District Court office. They will also tell you that you can start your case at that office, or if you’ve already started it somewhere else, you can move it to the right office or keep it going where it is.
