Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | Supporting preparation only. From the lawyer's marked documents, list the NPII search result, the judgment, the bankruptcy notice issue date, the service date and the date of non-compliance. Do not draft the petition. The tool writes nothing into the document. Substantive advice, judgement and any restricted content remain with the responsible human. |
| Lawyer | Perform the substantive analysis and decisions. Independently check any permitted supporting work and approve the exact output for its intended use. |
Checklist
- Confirm the act of bankruptcy relied on is non-compliance with the bankruptcy notice and that it is still within the six months AFSA describes.
- Confirm the NPII search is current and that the lawyer, not the tool, has read it.
- Use Form B6 only for a petition in the Federal Court, as that Court's information sheet states. Do not assume the same form number in the other court.
- Do not draft the petition. Every sentence that is filed is the lawyer's.
