## 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: Victoria
- 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 vcat.vic.gov.au and the 2 authorities it cites, for Victoria.

## When to use it

Use when parties to a VCAT building and construction dispute record an agreement reached at a compulsory conference, a mediation, or before the hearing. The sample is not an order, and it is not the application that starts the case.

## Used for these tasks

- [Index expert reports in a building dispute](https://ailawframework.com/practice/construction-and-infrastructure/index-expert-reports-in-a-building-dispute.md)
- [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)

## 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

**The lawyer checks:**

- The parties have agreed, and the sample is used to record that agreement
- The current sample is downloaded from the case-type page
- The terms are the terms the parties agreed, settled by the lawyer
- The document is not filed as a VCAT order unless the tribunal makes one
