"Last checked" vs "Last updated" — what's the difference?

Why a case can be checked without changing, and how to read these timestamps.

On each case you'll see two timestamps. They look similar but mean different things, and the difference is intentional — it tells you the truth about your data.

Checked from court

This is the last time Gaveli successfully contacted the court record for this case. It moves forward every time we check, even if nothing had changed. Think of it as "we looked, and this is current as of now."

Last updated from court

This is the last time the court record actually changed something on the case — a new hearing date, a stage change, a new order. It only moves when there's genuinely something new.

Why this matters

If "checked" is recent but "updated" is older, that's good news — it means Gaveli is watching the case closely and there's simply been no new activity. You can trust the case is current.
