Use the legislation-register forms on the same page to amend or review an order. A tool must not write the account of the violence. ## Used for these tasks - [Prepare the protection order application pack](https://ailawframework.com/practice/family-violence-and-protection-orders/prepare-the-protection-order-application-pack.md) - [Build the incident chronology and evidence index for the protection order file](https://ailawframework.com/practice/family-violence-and-protection-orders/build-the-incident-chronology-and-evidence-index-for-the-protection-orde.md) - [Prepare the statement in support of the protection order application](https://ailawframework.com/practice/family-violence-and-protection-orders/prepare-the-statement-in-support-of-the-protection-order-application.md) - [Prepare the variation, revocation or extension application](https://ailawframework.com/practice/family-violence-and-protection-orders/prepare-the-variation-revocation-or-extension-application.md) - [Screen documents for the protected person’s address and contact details before service or disclosure](https://ailawframework.com/practice/family-violence-and-protection-orders/screen-documents-for-the-protected-person-s-address-and-contact-details.md) ## How AI may be used AI may check that the right ACT form is on the file and that confidential contact details are on the private form; the lawyer writes the application. The application PDF was not read field by field. **AI may:** - Check the draft against the current form and list blank fields, missing copies and inconsistent names - Index dates, police incident numbers and existing orders already recorded on the file, without rewriting the account of what happened - Flag address and contact fields that should be kept off a document the other party will see **AI must not:** - Must not write the narrative of incidents or any statement in support - Must not describe the abuse, the risk, or the conditions sought, in words the lawyer and applicant have not settled - Must not sign, file or serve the application **The lawyer checks:** - The current form is used, and it is the family-violence form rather than a non-family restraining or personal protection form, or the reverse, as the facts require - Confidential addresses are not on a document the other party will receive - The lawyer has checked the current practice direction before any generative tool is used ## Authorities - [ACT Magistrates Court, Forms for protection and family violence orders](https://www.courts.act.gov.au/magistrates/forms/forms-for-protection-and-family-violence-orders) - [ACT Magistrates Court, Application for a family violence order (PDF)](https://www.courts.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0019/3019222/Application-for-Family-Violence-Order.pdf) - [Application to amend a family violence order or registered order (AF2017-108)](https://www.legislation.act.gov.au/af/2017-108/) ## Official form [Official form](https://www.courts.act.gov.au/magistrates/forms/forms-for-protection-and-family-violence-orders) ## Where this comes from The official form is published by courts.act.gov.au; this page is a completion guide.
