When to use it
Use when a lot in a Queensland body corporate is being sold, before the buyer signs. It tracks the certificate, the community management statement, and section 6 of the seller disclosure statement. It does not complete the certificate.
Used for these tasks
- Review the owners-corporation, body-corporate or association file
- Summarise strata or owners-corporation records for a purchaser
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
AI may track the request, the issue date and the documents still missing; the lawyer decides whether a certificate is required and whether the form used substantially complies.
AI may
- Record the date the certificate was requested and the date it must be given
- List levies and improvements named in a certificate already on the file
- Flag that the certificate is accurate only on the day it was issued
AI must not
- Must not complete or sign the body corporate certificate
- Must not decide that a manager's form substantially complies with the approved form
- Must not treat a certificate older than the day of issue as current without a new request
The lawyer checks
- The certificate, or the written statement that explains why there is no certificate, and the community management statement, are given before the buyer signs
- Section 6 of the seller disclosure statement is completed for a lot in a community titles scheme
- The person who signed the certificate was authorised in the way the page describes
- Settlement adjustments use a current certificate or a fresh records search, not a certificate issued only to start the sale
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
