NSW – Settlement Adjustment Sheet (SAS) LL-NSW-PR642

Water usage calculations:

We have updated the water usage calculations to include the Adjustment date as the Vendor is liable for usage up to and including the Adjustment date pursuant to clause 14.1 of the Contract for Sale of Land, which states:

14.1 Normally, the vendor is entitled to the rents and profits and will be liable for all rates, water, sewerage and drainage services and usage charges, land tax, levies and all other periodic outgoings up to and including the adjustment date after which the purchaser will be entitled and liable.

Please note: there has been no alterations to the start date of the water usage calculations – LEAP has always included the date that you enter as the start date, i.e. if you enter the start date as the reading date, in our calculations within the SAS.

Automation of critical dates in Lease matters

In February 2019, the following critical dates were added to Calendar and Tasks for Lease matter types after feedback was received from clients that it would be beneficial to the user in the management of Lease matters.

  • Disclosure statement
  • Lease executed
  • Lease commencement
  • Lease termination
  • Rent commencement
  • Lease registration

Three of the dates, Lease commencement, Lease termination and Lease registration were already in the Lease Details table and to avoid the user from having to enter those dates both in the Lease Details table as well as in critical dates, the three dates were automated to prefill the date fields in the Lease Details table once entered in Calendar and Tasks.

We have since received feedback from clients requesting that we remove the automation of the dates as it locks the field on the layout and the automated field can no longer be used in other matter types that do not have the same critical date scheme. We also received feedback that the automation of the dates was removing the manually entered dates from old lease matters.

As a result of the feedback received, we will be reversing the changes made in relation to the three dates, Lease commencement, Lease termination and Lease registration by:

1. Removing the date automation and reverting to manual entry of the three dates on the Lease Details table;
2. Removing the associated three dates from the critical date scheme for Lease matter types; and
3. Reverting to the old fields on the layout so that dates entered in old Lease matters are retained.

The reversal of the changes will occur on Thursday 2 May 2019.

Once the changes have been reversed, any dates entered since February 2019 in Calendar and Tasks that auto populated the fields in the Lease Details table will remain in the Lease Details table and the dates entered in old Lease matters should be unaffected if those matters haven’t been opened since February 2019.

You can continue to enter the dates in Calendar and Tasks until the date automation is removed at which time the three dates will need to be entered directly in the Lease Details table moving forward.

In the meantime, and as part of our work to make LEAP simpler and easier to use, we will continue to work on further refinements on the date automation feature to provide our clients more options.

NSW – new LEAP Document Manager forms

The LEAP Content team have been working on a large project to change the functionality behind our forms to use a Word App entitled LEAP Document Manager “LDM”.

This change is necessary to make our forms compatible with Word Online.  Over the next few months you will see this functionality become more frequently used in our forms.

Rest assured, from a user perspective, information contained within your LEAP Matter will still auto-populate directly into the LDM form, however, the functionality will be slightly different.  From a user perspective there will be –

  • No more pop up dialogs to answer questions.
  • Questions/information required (where relevant) will be contained in the LDM which is displayed in a side panel on the righthand side of your documents.

As we transition to the new LDM forms, the current versions will remain in LEAP for approximately one month for your use.  Therefore, each version of the form will have a separate precedent code, with the suffix of “LDM” in the form name.  We will notify you further when the current forms are to be deleted and the LDM versions will remain.

Please see the LEAP Community articles on ‘Using the LEAP Document Manager‘ and ‘Adding the ‘LEAP Document Manager to Word‘ .

The first release of the new LDM forms include:

Area of Law Precedent Name Precedent Code
Conveyancing & Property Contract for sale and purchase of land – Law Society 2018 edition – pages 1-3_LDM LL-NSW-PRS681
Section 22 Notice – Notice of Interest, Lease or Mortgage_LDM LL-NSW-PR682
Personal Injury Application to admit late documents_LDM LL-NSW-PI-0262
Certificate of service_LDM LL-NSW-PI-0263
Application for general assessment_LDM LL-NSW-PI-0264
Application to resolve a dispute_LDM LL-NSW-PI-0265
Application for ILARS Grant_LDM LL-NSW-PI-0266
Local Court Litigation Subpoena for production_LDM LL-NSW-LC-0053
Statutory Declaration_LDM LL-NSW-LC-0054
Practice Management Statutory Declaration – Blank – NSW_LDM LL-NSW-GEN-0076

This new functionality will make working with the forms easier from a user perspective.  We are happy to hear your comments regarding this new functionality, please provide any feedback here.
