The litigation Court forms for the VIC Supreme Court and County Court have been restructured – there is now a separate forms folder for the Supreme Court and County Court respectively:
When using these forms in your LEAP matters, please ensure that the Court card-based table is completed with the correct Court’s details to ensure the forms automate with the correct details:
Further details on cards are available on the LEAP Help Centre.
Following client request, we have added several new table types for use in your matters in LEAP.
The table types (listed as below) can be added to your preferred matters by right clicking the top of the matter, before then selecting Edit table types. Once in the Edit table types window, tick the Show All checkbox which will then display all possible table types that can be added to LEAP matters. Further details can be found in this Help Centre article on Table Types.
The newly added table types are:
Table types including Sibling, Aunt, Uncle, Grandmother and Grandfather now also have an attached subsidiary table so that details of the relationship can be entered and this will display in the matter view:
The following Magistrates’ Court criminal form is now available:
We have recently added a new feature called Table relations to VIC Litigation matter types.
Card table relations have been implemented for the following VIC Litigation matter types which will enable all related cards to be linked together:
County Court Appeal
Country Court Litigation
Debt Recovery – Magistrates Court
Federal Court Litigation
High Court Appeal
High Court Litigation
Magistrates Court Litigation
Supreme Court Appeal
Supreme Court Litigation
Table relations provide smart association of related parties and/or relevant data through both cards and tables to ensure matter types are easier to complete.
Some common Litigation table relations include Defendant and Defendant’s Solicitor.
This is particularly helpful in Litigation matter types when there is more than one Other side and Other side’s Solicitor, it is now easy to identify which Solicitor belongs with which Other side.
Some of these card tables are not Standard tables but are available in Other possible tables and when added to the matter through edit table types will link with the relevant related card or table.
If required, you can also edit table relations per matter by right clicking on the Matter Details and selecting Edit Table relations, you will then be presented with a list of relations to un-associate – simply untick any tables you wish to unlink.
Details are also available on the Help Centre.

You can provide feedback on these new matter types here.
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.
Please note that the Inventory of Assets and Liabilities precedent is now located within a sub-folder labelled Pre-RedCrest Probate – Form no longer on Court website. The currency of this precedent is as per as it was published by the Courts prior to going online with RedCrest-Probate. As this document is now filed electronically via the online lodgement portal and the document is no longer published on the Court website nor within the Court rules, the document will not correspond to any updates made in the digital version of the form. For further queries of the availability of this form on the Court’s website, please contact the Supreme Court Probate office for more details.
The document has been included in LEAP following feedback by clients that the availability of this document assists them in preparing their Probate applications however, usage of this document is at clients’ discretion. Please refer to the disclaimer document located within this sub-folder when using the Inventory of Assets and Liabilities.
