Where this comes from

The official form is published by ncat.nsw.gov.au; this page is a completion guide. Last checked on 2026-10-22.

When to use it

Use when an existing NCAT case needs the request form the Consumer and Commercial Division forms page titles Request for warrant for possession. It is not the tenancy and social housing application, which already has a guide and which the page says includes termination and possession and rental bond disputes. The page does not state when a warrant is available. The tool does not write the request.

Used for these tasks

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 check that the current file is the warrant request and that it belongs to an existing case. The lawyer decides whether a warrant is available and writes the request.

AI may

  • Check the file name ncat-form-warrant-for-possession.pdf against the document on the file
  • Flag that request forms on this page are uploaded to an existing case
  • Flag the separate tenancy and social housing application, which already has a guide

AI must not

  • Must not draft the grounds for the warrant or any words that would be lodged
  • Must not state a precondition the page does not state
  • Must not invent a fee, an Act or a form number
  • Must not sign or lodge the request

The lawyer checks

  • The matter already has an NCAT case, because the page says request forms are uploaded to an existing case
  • The page stated no form number and no precondition. The PDF was not opened
  • The tenancy and social housing application is not filed again as this request
  • Any NCAT practice direction about generative tools is checked. None was stated on the page opened for this guide.

Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
