Link to Supreme Court of Western Australia Form 74, originating summons where an appearance is required, and Form 75, where an appearance is not required. Both are listed against Order 58 rule 14, with two copies for filing.

## Key facts

- Kind: Form. A form to complete, or a guide to completing an official one.
- Practice area: [Commercial Litigation & Dispute Resolution](https://ailawframework.com/precedents/commercial-litigation-and-dispute-resolution.md)
- Jurisdictions: Western Australia
- AI level: Yellow. You and the tool draft together, with you directing. You check every statement you rely on.
- Law stated as at: 2026-10-22
- Status: Maintained. Checked on 2026-10-22 against the official form at supremecourt.wa.gov.au and the 2 authorities it cites, for Western Australia.

## When to use it

Use when commencing a civil proceeding in the General Division by originating summons, and the lawyer has decided whether an appearance is required. Do not use Form 74 or Form 75 for a writ, an originating motion, judicial review, or the separate inheritance originating summons listed on the same table.

## 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
- Any practice direction about generative tools is checked. None was stated on the page opened for this guide.
