The work product
Forum. The Australian court whose form will be filed
Produce. Draft particulars mapped to the fields of the current court form.
Have ready. The lawyer’s chosen court and form; The contract and ledger; Instructions on what is admitted and what is in dispute.
Example of the limit. If the form asks for the agreement date, use the date on the signed contract, not the date of the first invoice, unless they are the same.
Stop and hand it back when
- The court or the form has not been chosen.
- A material part of the debt is unliquidated or disputed and the draft still pleads a single sum.
