## When to use it

Use when a matter is referred to QCAT and the forms page's non-disciplinary referral is the form the lawyer selects. The page does not say the complainant files it. The lawyer checks who refers the matter.

## Used for these tasks

- [Take a discrimination complaint from the commission to the court or tribunal](https://ailawframework.com/practice/anti-discrimination-and-industrial-relations/take-a-discrimination-complaint-from-the-commission-to-the-court-or-trib.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 step is a non-disciplinary referral, and Form 35 is the form the list names
- The lawyer has checked who completes the referral
- The current Form 35 is used
- Contentions, if required after referral, use the contentions forms
