To obtain the new Critical Date in your existing matters, you will need to change the Matter Type and then change it back again, this will refresh the Date scheme.
The Critical Date default scheme now consists of:
• Instruction Date
• File Review Date
• Completion/Settlement Date
• Not Proceeding Date
Create an appointment for the File Review Date, or postpone the appointment directly from Calendar & Tasks:

Two new Matter Types have been created to make it easier for clients to create their matters more in line with the way LEAP works. This is also to ensure that they are using the correct By Lawyers publications. They were Federal Matter Types but are now State based Matter Types. These new matter types can be found here –
For state-based guides and precedents to be visible from existing matters, LEAP users will need to change their matter type from Other areas of law > Miscellaneous > Disputes to Other areas of law > Disputes > [selecting the relevant new matter type].

As digital filing is mandatory as of 26 November 2018, we will be removing forms that are now required to be generated in the CourtSA Probate system on 26 November 2018. We understand there will be additional oaths and affidavits that can be generated, scanned and uploaded to CourtSA. We will endeavour to have those additional forms available in LEAP. At this time, CourtSA have advised there is no integration available with any Practice Management Systems.
In the meantime, if you have any queries regarding the CourtSA digital filing system for Probate matters please contact CourtSA directly.
