## When to use it

Use when enforcement in the Federal Court is under section 35(4) of the International Arbitration Act 1974 and the catalogue gives Form 58.

## Used for these tasks

- [Assemble the evidence to enforce an arbitral award in court](https://ailawframework.com/practice/arbitration-and-alternative-dispute-resolution/assemble-the-evidence-to-enforce-an-arbitral-award-in-court.md)
- [Diarise the correction, interpretation and set-aside time limits after an award](https://ailawframework.com/practice/arbitration-and-alternative-dispute-resolution/diarise-the-correction-interpretation-and-set-aside-time-limits-after-an.md)

## How AI may be used

Yellow. A tool may compare a working note with the current official form and list what is missing. The lawyer downloads the form, completes it and lodges it.

**AI may:**

- List the facts and documents the official page says to have ready.
- Compare a working checklist with the current downloaded form and mark gaps.
- Prepare a filing note that quotes only what the official page says.

**AI must not:**

- Do not copy the official form into a new document or file a retyped version.
- Do not invent a form number, fee, time limit or rule that is not on the official page.
- Do not draft, settle or sign an affidavit or other sworn evidence.
- Do not lodge the form or tell the client it has been filed.

**The lawyer checks:**

- Match the application to section 35(4) before using Form 58.
- A foreign award may instead be Form 52. Read both catalogue rows.
- The row date is 1 August 2011.
- Diarise any set-aside or correction time from the award and the Act. The form row does not state it.
