3.2.8 NotifyFilingReviewComplete

If the clerk rejects the filings or the Filing Review MDE receives the Notify Docketing Complete message, the Filing Review MDE MUST invoke the NotifyFilingReviewComplete operation on the Filing Assembly MDE as a callback message to the ReviewFiling operation to indicate whether the filing was accepted and docketed by the clerk and court record system.  The operation MAY return the filed documents or links to the documents, but MUST include the [FIPS 180-2] SHA 256 document hash, a condensed representation of a document intended to protect document integrity.

If the filing included a payment, and the filing was accepted by the clerk and court record system, a receipt for the payment MUST be included in the operation.  The Filing Assembly MDE responds synchronously with an acknowledgement of the callback message.
