Link to the scott schedule the ACAT civil disputes page says parties may have to lodge when defects are claimed in a building dispute. The link text states no form number. The Word file was not opened. The originating civil application is a different guide.

## Key facts

- Kind: Form. A form to complete, or a guide to completing an official one.
- Practice area: [Construction & Infrastructure](https://ailawframework.com/precedents/construction-and-infrastructure.md)
- Jurisdictions: Australian Capital Territory
- 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 acat.act.gov.au and the 2 authorities it cites, for Australian Capital Territory.

## When to use it

Use when an ACAT civil dispute is a building dispute in which defects are claimed, and the civil disputes page requires a scott schedule. Do not use this schedule as the originating application. The tool does not write the defect items.

## Used for these tasks

- [Build a defects schedule and draft the demand from the inspection reports](https://ailawframework.com/practice/construction-and-infrastructure/build-a-defects-schedule-and-draft-the-demand-from-the-inspection-report.md)
- [Index expert reports in a building dispute](https://ailawframework.com/practice/construction-and-infrastructure/index-expert-reports-in-a-building-dispute.md)
- [Build the statutory warranty and liability cut-off schedule for a residential building claim](https://ailawframework.com/practice/construction-and-infrastructure/build-the-statutory-warranty-and-liability-cut-off-schedule-for-a-reside.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may check the pack against the current form and list missing documents. The lawyer writes the complaint items, the defect descriptions and any conduct allegations, and checks every filing.

**AI may:**

- Check the pack against the current official form and list missing documents named on the page
- Flag when a defects schedule, a review form or a disciplinary application is being used for the wrong dispute
- List the time limits and lodgement path stated on the page that was opened

**AI must not:**

- Must not draft complaint items, defect descriptions, contract allegations or conduct allegations
- Must not draft pleadings, a scott schedule's item text, or a statement of claim
- Must not sign, file or serve the application

**The lawyer checks:**

- The originating application is the current civil dispute application, which has its own guide
- The scott schedule is added when the page's building-defect requirement applies
- The page's $25,000 example, and agreement to hear a higher claim, are checked against the current jurisdictional rule
- 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.
