## Key facts

- Kind: Form. A form to complete, or a guide to completing an official one.
- Practice area: [Strata & Community Titles](https://ailawframework.com/precedents/strata-and-community-titles.md)
- Jurisdictions: Queensland
- AI level: Yellow. You and the tool draft together, with you directing. You check every statement you rely on.

- Status: Maintained. Checked on 2026-10-22 against the official form at qcat.qld.gov.au and the 2 authorities it cites, for Queensland.

## When to use it

Use when the dispute is a complex dispute under that Act and it is not an adjustment of a lot entitlement schedule. Lot entitlement adjustments use Form 29. Manufactured homes and retirement villages are different forms and are not this one.

## Used for these tasks

- [Draft a scheme-dispute tribunal application from the papers](https://ailawframework.com/practice/strata-and-community-titles/draft-a-scheme-dispute-tribunal-application-from-the-papers.md)
- [Map each defect to its claim route and the last date to act](https://ailawframework.com/practice/strata-and-community-titles.md#A47-X20260927-9)

## 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 dispute is a complex dispute under the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997, and it is not a lot entitlement adjustment
- The current Form 28 is used
- The scheme and the orders sought are settled by the lawyer
- A defect's claim route and last date are checked by the lawyer before they are put on the form
