WA – Litigation court forms

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 court forms for WA have been re-coded where necessary to allow for more than one of each party using the mergefield Court__List_Parties, and a new mergefield COURT__Filed_for_role where required.  The forms affected are those listed below:

WA > Litigation > District Court Litigation > LEAP Forms > District Court
WA > Litigation > Magistrates Court Litigation > LEAP Forms > Magistrates Court
WA > Litigation > Supreme Court Appeal > LEAP Forms > Supreme Court of Appeal Forms
WA > Litigation > Supreme Court Litigation > LEAP Forms > Supreme Court Civil
WA > Litigation > Supreme Court Litigation > LEAP Forms > WA Supreme Court – Corporations

MATTER SET UP:

Where there is more than one Defendant in the matter, complete as follows:
Client = Client
Other Side = Plaintiff
Other Side’s Solicitor = Plaintiff’s Solicitor

Edit Table Types and add the following Tables and Cards:
Defendant
Defendant’s Solicitor

A new subsidiary layout has been added entitled ‘Role’ which is associated with each party ie Plaintiff, Defendant and Third Party (where applicable).  This new layout determines who you are acting for i.e. the Second Defendant etc:

NOTE: If you are acting for ALL Defendants or if there is only one Defendant in the matter, then complete the matter setup as normal.

This same rule applies for Third Parties, i.e. you could act for one or a multiple of Third Parties but not necessarily all Third Parties.  In this instance,  the parties would be set up as follows:
Client = Client
Other Side = Defendant
Other Side’s Solicitor = Defendant’s Solicitor

Edit Table Types and add the following Tables and Cards:
Plaintiff
Plaintiff’s Solicitor
Third Party
Third Party’s Solicitor

Enter Third Parties in the order that they appear in the Third Party Notice i.e. if your client is the Second Third Party, then replicate the Client Card and also ensure that your Firm Details are added as Second Third Party’s Solicitor.

EXAMPLE MATTER SET UP:

Our client is Joanne Penelope Smithfield and she is the Third Defendant:

WA – Conveyancing Details layout improvements

The Conveyancing details layout has been updated to provide for Residential Withholding Tax payments on both sale and purchase matter types.  The “RW payment amount” will auto-calculate, based on the completed purchase price, for all items within the drop-down list which includes:

  • Fully taxable supply
  • Margin scheme
  • 10% of GST exclusive market value

When “10% of GST exclusive market value” applies, complete the “GST exclusive amount” to enable the “RW payment amount” to auto-calculate.

Critical Date

To compliment these changes, the GST Withholding notification date has been added to Critical Dates in Calendar & Tasks for both sale and purchase matter types.  For more information on setting Critical Dates appointments and Tasks, visit LEAP Communities.

Feedback can be provided on these improvements here.
