## When to use it

Use when asking the Supreme Court of Western Australia for default judgment in an action for a liquidated demand, on Form 32. The lawyer confirms the rules' preconditions. This guide does not state them. A District Court document with the same title is a different file.

## Used for these tasks

- [Check the claim pack against the current form, fee and registry rules before filing](https://ailawframework.com/practice/debt-recovery-and-civil-enforcement/check-the-claim-pack-against-the-current-form-fee-and-registry-rules-bef.md)
- [Draft particulars of a liquidated claim](https://ailawframework.com/practice/debt-recovery-and-civil-enforcement/draft-particulars-of-a-liquidated-claim.md)
- [Assemble the service evidence before asking for default judgment](https://ailawframework.com/practice/debt-recovery-and-civil-enforcement/assemble-the-service-evidence-before-asking-for-default-judgment.md)
- [Draft default or summary-judgment papers from the liquidated file](https://ailawframework.com/practice/debt-recovery-and-civil-enforcement/draft-default-or-summary-judgment-papers-from-the-liquidated-file.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may check Form 32 is the current Supreme Court form and list service documents already on the file; the lawyer decides whether default judgment is available and writes the judgment.

**AI may:**

- Check the draft is Supreme Court Form 32, not the District Court file of the same name, and list blank fields
- Index affidavits of service and the claim already on the file, with dates, without rewriting them
- Flag if the claim on file is described as unliquidated, so the lawyer can consider a different form

**AI must not:**

- Must not decide that default judgment is available, or draft the judgment sum
- Must not draft an affidavit of service or any other affidavit
- Must not state a time to respond unless that time is taken from a rule the lawyer has opened
- Must not sign or file the judgment

**The lawyer checks:**

- Order 13 rule 2 and Order 42 rule 1, as cited on the forms table, still apply and their preconditions are met
- The demand is liquidated, and the amount matches the claim
- Service evidence is on the file before the judgment is filed
- Two copies are prepared, as the forms table states
