All matter types in LEAP are pre-configured based on the area of law that you select.

When you create a new matter, and select your matter type, it populates a set of card tables and data entry tables (“layouts”) that capture the information that is required for that particular matter.

All of the LEAP Forms and By Lawyers precedents are designed around this information being filled out in full in your matters.

The forms are automated with either simple fields which are just bringing in a name or address, or it could be that the form is designed to show a whole paragraph of information based on one field in a layout being filled out in your LEAP matter.

For example, in a Statement of Claim for NSW, to have the information appear under “Relief Claimed”, you need to fill out the information under the Debt Details layout.

This will then do the calculations required and fill the information out in the Statement of Claim as follows:

This is why it is so important that you fill out as much information as possible on all of your matters in LEAP. Whether this is when you first create the matter, or as you gain the information throughout the duration of the matter.

If you create a form and find that there is some information is not completed on the form, the first thing you should do is check that you have completed all information within the cards and layouts on your matter in LEAP.
