How it works

Fact organisation and filing format guidance for people filing on their own behalf.

1. Step 1 - Court and dispute

   Choose the court that will receive your documents, then the kind of dispute. The format requirements shown next come from that court's published rules.

2. Step 2 - Your account, in order

   Fill in what happened. Short entries are fine. Dates and amounts are printed exactly as you enter them.

3. Step 3 - Your document set

   Four files are prepared from your answers. Review the two confirmations below before downloading.

What is in the package

• Statement of facts draft - editable document, laid out in the paragraph format this court uses.
• Filing checklist - what to bring, in how many copies, and why documents get returned.
• Disclosure statement - who prepared this set and what it does not cover.
• Citation verification checklist - only if you entered a statute, rule or case reference yourself.

Both confirmations must be ticked before the download becomes available.

• Read the disclosure statement for this court before downloading.
• Confirm you understand: citations are not verified
