Aug 1, 2025August 2025 (hmcts/opal-frontend) delivered two high-impact frontend enhancements that drive business value by improving user workflows and UI consistency. The manual account creation flow for fixed penalties was significantly refactored and extended, enabling users to submit accounts for review with more robust handling of issuing authority details and payload generation, reducing data gaps and manual rework.
