## When to use it

Use when commencing a proceeding in the Supreme Court of Tasmania by Form 3, an originating application intended to be served. Do not use it for an application that is not to be served, or for service out of Tasmania, unless that is the form the lawyer has selected from the Court's list.

## Used for these tasks

- [Draft pleadings from the facts-and-issues brief](https://ailawframework.com/practice/commercial-litigation-and-dispute-resolution/draft-pleadings-from-the-facts-and-issues-brief.md)
- [Check procedural citations against the court rules](https://ailawframework.com/practice/commercial-litigation-and-dispute-resolution/check-procedural-citations-against-the-court-rules.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may check a draft against the current form and list gaps or the wrong form. The lawyer writes the grounds or indorsement and checks every filing.

**AI may:**

- Check the draft against the current official form and list blank fields, missing attachments and inconsistent party names
- Flag when the proceeding looks like a different originating process that uses another form
- List the copies, layout and registry details stated on the court page that was opened

**AI must not:**

- Must not draft the indorsement, statement of claim, grounds or any affidavit
- Must not decide which court has jurisdiction, the monetary limit, or whether the claim is in time
- Must not sign, file or serve the document

**The lawyer checks:**

- The current form is the one prescribed for this kind of proceeding in this court
- Parties, court heading and relief match the instructions
- Any pre-action step, fee and practice direction is checked against the current rules
- The court's or tribunal's current index is checked before assuming a generative-AI practice direction applies. None was stated on the page opened for this guide.
