## When to use it

Use for a miscellaneous application of a kind the forms page lists, in a matter that is not guardianship or administration. Guardianship miscellaneous matters use Form 12.

## Used for these tasks

- [Draft a state, territorial or local tribunal application from the decision papers](https://ailawframework.com/practice/administrative-and-public-law/draft-a-state-territorial-or-local-tribunal-application-from-the-decisio.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may check the draft against the current official form and list what is missing; the lawyer settles every statement that will be filed and signs or lodges the form.

**AI may:**

- Check the draft is the current version of the form and list every blank field or missing attachment
- Index the documents on the file that the form calls for, with date and author
- Turn the court's published filing and service steps into a checklist for this matter

**AI must not:**

- Must not write allegations, grounds, orders or figures in words that will be filed
- Must not decide jurisdiction, standing or whether a time limit has been met
- Must not sign, lodge or serve the form

**The lawyer checks:**

- The order is one of the kinds the forms page lists for Form 40
- The matter is not guardianship or administration
- The current Form 40 is used
- The order sought is settled by the lawyer
