## When to use it

Use when asking the Supreme Court, District Court or Magistrates Court of Queensland for an order in an existing civil proceeding. The Courts' page says Form 9 covers both an application on notice and an ex parte application.

## Used for these tasks

- [Draft an interlocutory application, supporting evidence and outline](https://ailawframework.com/practice/commercial-litigation-and-dispute-resolution/draft-an-interlocutory-application-supporting-evidence-and-outline.md)
- [Request subpoenas and track service and production](https://ailawframework.com/practice/commercial-litigation-and-dispute-resolution/request-subpoenas-and-track-service-and-production.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
- Must not draft the affidavit in support

**The lawyer checks:**

- The proceeding already exists. A new case uses Form 5
- On notice: served at least two business days before the hearing, personally or by post, as the page states
- Not on notice: the page says service is not required, and gives urgent relief such as freezing assets as an example
- The hearing date the registry allocates is in the application before it is served
- Any affidavit in support is sworn evidence and is not drafted from this guide
