Check the statutory demand and verifying affidavit against the current prescribed forms
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- From the demand and the affidavit verifying the debt that the lawyer has written, extract the debtor's name and ACN, the registered office, every amount in the schedule of debt and the payment and set-aside paragraphs into a table set against the current prescribed form of demand and the forum's affidavit form, and list each difference. The tool writes no part of the verifying affidavit — no draft, no scaffold, no suggested paragraphs — and it alters neither document: it reports the differences for the lawyer to correct.
- What the lawyer must review
- Read every line of your own demand against the current prescribed form and every line of your own verifying affidavit against the rule and form that govern it in the forum, and satisfy yourself on the source ledger, not on the tool's table, that each scheduled amount is due and payable and meets the statutory minimum. Correct any defect in the affidavit yourself, and have the deponent read it before it is sworn or affirmed.
