How to organise information for a legal document
A checklist for court details, dates, requested outcome and source materials.
- court, tribunal or authority and claim number
- party names and procedural roles
- chronology including service and notice dates
- the precise order, remedy or response required
- documents supporting each important fact
- any letter before claim, response, order or notice already received
Do not omit instructions, schedules or reverse pages from source documents. Mark unknown information as unknown rather than estimating it.
