Stamp duty fields

The stamp duty fields have been renamed to assist in identifying the relevant stamp duty fields for each state and territory (when inserting them in precedents).

All stamp duty fields will now have the prefix naming convention of SD (Stamp Duty)  and the relevant state or territory:

State Current display name Updated display name
NSW Stamp duty display [SD NSW] Stamp duty payable
VIC VIC SD on transfer (Short text) [SD VIC] Stamp duty payable
TAS TAS Duty Payable [SD TAS] Stamp duty payable
WA WA SD Rate – Payable Amount [SD WA] Stamp duty payable
NT NT Stamp Duty display [SD NT] Stamp duty payable
QLD QLD SD Stamp Duty payable [SD QLD] Stamp duty payable
ACT ACT Stamp Duty display [SD ACT] Stamp duty payable
SA SA Duty – Payable [SD SA] Stamp duty payable

As each state and territory has different transfer duty rates (as well as varying exemptions and concessions), please ensure the correct field is using when inserting them in your precedents.

Details on other fields in LEAP that have been prefixed are outlined in this previous LEAP Forms Blog post.

Further details on how to insert fields into your precedents in LEAP can be found in this LEAP Community article.

What is BundlePro?

BundlePro is a new innovation to help law firms meet the new requirements associated with the electronic submission of CourtBooks. It integrates with LEAP to allow law firms to create professional, presentable, searchable and cost effective electronic PDF bundles for the courts in minutes.

BundlePro automatically converts large volumes of documents into a single PDF, complete with an auto-generated paginated index, bookmarks, hyperlinks and a cover page. The contents of the electronic binder is then run through a forensic OCR, making the text fully searchable.  Simple and user friendly, BundlePro will save you time and money. Once a bundle has been created, an automatic disbursement can be generated and saved back to your client’s ledger in LEAP, ensuring you recover any expenses incurred.

Fields and Calculations tags – updated names

We are always looking for ways to make the content in LEAP more user-friendly.  We have just released the first stage of a project to tag (with prefix and suffix) the many Fields and Calculations in LEAP so you can easily identify them.

The first stage of Field and Calculation tags is relative to all Card types.  Therefore, all Card Fields and Calculations will now contain a prefix and suffix where relevant.

Below is a list of standard prefixes [always in square brackets] and suffixes (always in parenthesis) that tag field names:

PREFIX TAG FIELD EXAMPLE PURPOSE
[Address] Postal Address Items on the Address table or items which calculate directly from it relevant to Address
[Calc] Age Represents any JavaScript calculation that does not fall under another category or which is the output of a mathematical formula or logic operation and is reliant on completion of other fields in LEAP matter
[Card] Card Type Items on the Card table or items which calculate directly from it and which an end user would assume is not a calculated field
[DX] Suburb Items on the Card table or items which calculate directly from it relevant to DX
[Email] Electronic service Items on the Card table or items which calculate directly from it relevant to Email
[Execution] Signature – corporation Execution prefix for execution clause calculations
[Fax] Fax Number Items on the Card table or items which calculate directly from it relevant to Fax
[Grammar] I am/We are Calculations that populate the correct grammar or word choice into forms based on context
[Matter] Date of service Items on the Matter table or items which calculate directly from matter completion
[Name] Full name & address Items on the Card table or items which calculate directly from it relevant to Name
[Organisation] Trading Name Items specifically used when the Card type is Company, Business, etc
[People] Salutation Items on the Person table or items which calculate directly from it and which end user would assume is
not a calculated field
[Phone] Work Phone Items on the Card table or items which calculate directly from it relevant to Phone
[PO Box] PO Box Items on the Address table that relate to the PO Box address or items which calculate directly from these
[Registered Office] Suburb Items on the Card table or items which calculate from it specifically used when the Card type is
Company, Business, etc
[Re lines] Court display Calculations that populate the matter type re lines
[Web] Page location Items on the Card table or items which calculate directly from it relevant to Web address
SUFFIX TAG EXAMPLE PURPOSE
(across) [Names] Full name &
address (across)		 Appended to items which automate data without line breaks
(down) [Names] Full name &
address (down)		 Appended to items which automate data with line breaks
(calc) Appended to items which may be calculations but the appropriate prefix is another tag i.e. Name
(hard return) [Address] Postal (hard return) Appended to items which populate data with hard return line breaks
(multi) [Calc] Full legal description (multi) Appended at the end of any calculation which applies to multiple cards (if this prefix is not present,
assume the item only applies to a single card)
CAPS [Names] FULL NAME &
address		 Items displaying in caps automate in CAPS in Word

As Fields and Calculations appear in alphabetical order, it will be much easier to locate Fields and Calculations and the process of automating your firm’s own precedents will be much simpler.

We will be continuing the second stage of our project to tag the remaining Fields and Calculations not on Card.
