Judicial Expenses Module

Clearly Separate Judicial Expenses from General Budgets and Expenditures

An insurance company’s Legal Affairs department may pay fees or judicial expenses on behalf of the company or one of its branches for a particular claim file or case. These are not general operating expenses, but amounts that must be settled and tracked independently within the legal budget of each file. When mixed with general accounts, it becomes difficult to know the true judicial-expense balance at company, branch, or individual-claim level, and to distinguish it from the actual expense recorded in the legal-risk register.

LAWMAX’s Judicial Expenses Module provides a separate path for recording expenses and linking them to cases, claim files, and branches, attaching supporting evidence, and tracking paid amounts, settlements, and current balances, helping maintain transparency in the financial relationship between Legal Affairs, Finance, and beneficiary branches.
