Draft the minute of consent orders from the settled terms
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Working with the lawyer on terms the lawyer has settled, build the minute clause by clause from those terms and the disclosure figures the lawyer has checked, list the assets, values and certificates still to confirm, and flag both anything in the draft the settled terms do not support and anything the settled terms leave out that an order would normally deal with.
- What the lawyer must review
- Read every clause against the settled terms — a model drafting from precedent will reproduce superseded property language. Satisfy yourself the orders are just and equitable before they go to the registrar. Use the current prescribed superannuation splitting forms and give the trustee procedural fairness. Confirm whether the application is in time or needs leave. Once the orders are made they are final, and the grounds to set them aside are narrow.
