Miss. Elec. Ct. P. 8
The AOC shall deem the public website for MEC to be subject to a technical failure on a given day if the site is unable to accept filings continuously or intermittently over the course of any period of time greater than one hour after 12:00 noon that day, in which case filings due that day which were not filed due solely to such technical failures shall become due the next business day.
Questions about the system failure may be directed to the Help Desk by phone at 601-576-4650 or by e-mail at helpdesk@mec.ms.gov.
When unable to file a document in a timely manner due to a failure of MEC, a document may be filed conventionally, and the filer shall explain the conventional filing by attaching a Declaration of Technical Difficulties, attached hereto as Form 3.
If the attorney is unable to file a document in a timely manner due to technical difficulties in the user's system (e.g., phone line problems, problems with the filer's Internet Service Provider (ISP), or hardware or software problems), the attorney should file the document conventionally and notify the court of the inability to electronically file. Such notification may be made by attaching a Declaration of Technical Difficulties, wherein he or she explains the inability to file electronically.
