Key facts

- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- From the sealed judgment and the ledger the lawyer marks, list the debtor and creditor names as they appear, the judgment date, the judgment amount, any amount still unpaid, and whether the lawyer has marked a stay, an assignment or a costs certificate. Do not complete the AFSA application and do not calculate interest.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides the notice can be applied for, completes the AFSA Online Services application, attaches a sealed or certified judgment or other document AFSA requires, and certifies any interest calculation. AFSA says the arithmetic is entirely for the creditor.

Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | Supporting preparation only. From the sealed judgment and the ledger the lawyer marks, list the debtor and creditor names as they appear, the judgment date, the judgment amount, any amount still unpaid, and whether the lawyer has marked a stay, an assignment or a costs certificate. Do not complete the AFSA application and do not calculate interest. 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 amount outstanding when the application is made is at least $10,000, the minimum AFSA attributes to section 10A of the Bankruptcy Regulations 2021. Post-judgment interest does not make a judgment under $10,000 qualify.
- Reject the application path if the judgment is more than 6 years old, or if execution is stayed or suspended. An appeal without a stay is not itself a stay, as AFSA's example states.
- If the judgment was assigned, or if costs were ordered to be taxed, attach the proof AFSA describes and do not treat a bare costs order as a final order.
- Leave the interest schedule to the lawyer. Do not import a rate from another matter.
