## When to use it

Use when a Planning and Environment Court matter is started by originating application and Form 02 is the current form. A notice of appeal is Form 01. The list does not state which applications use Form 02.

## Used for these tasks

- [Draft the merit-appeal grounds, evidence outline and submissions](https://ailawframework.com/practice/planning-and-environment/draft-the-merit-appeal-grounds-evidence-outline-and-submissions.md)
- [Draft a merits-appeal statement of issues](https://ailawframework.com/practice/planning-and-environment.md#A12-B7-3)

## 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 matter is commenced by originating application in the Planning and Environment Court
- The current Form 02 is used
- The lawyer has checked that an originating application, rather than an appeal, is the right start
- The relief sought is settled by the lawyer
