    ACT – Litigation (acting for one or more Defendants/Third Parties when multiple exist)

    A litigation profile review has been carried out to ensure that the Court forms work correctly when, not only acting for ALL Defendants, but also when acting for ONE Defendant where there are multiple Defendants i.e. acting for the Second Defendant but not the First Defendant, or acting for the First and Second Defendants but not the Third Defendant, etc.

    The forms in the following ACT profiles have therefore been re-coded where necessary with a new mergefield COURT__Filed_for_role:

    ACT > Litigation > Magistrates Court Litigation > LEAP Forms > Magistrates Court
    ACT > Litigation > Supreme Court Litigation > LEAP Forms > Supreme Court

    Correct Matter completion:

    It is essential that you read the ACT Litigation Information Sheet on LEAP Communities for correct matter setup for these scenarios.
