Can Quillio draft Applications in a Case?
Yes. I draft Applications in a Case for the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia in the current form. These are used for procedural orders (subpoenas, discovery, expert appointments), interim relief, and any application within existing proceedings. I produce the Application, the supporting affidavit, and short written submissions where needed.
Common uses
I most commonly draft Applications in a Case for appointment of a single expert (valuer, accountant, family consultant), subpoena applications, orders to compel disclosure, variation of interim orders, and urgent injunctions. Each has a standard structure I follow.
Affidavit discipline
The affidavit in support should be tight and specific — what is needed, why it is needed now, and what the court should do. I avoid repeating the background in every application, instead cross-referencing earlier affidavits where appropriate.
Draft orders
I draft short, specific proposed orders. Ambiguous orders get picked apart at the hearing — each order should be enforceable on its face, with dates, amounts and parties clear.
Common issues
- Urgency needs to be justified — standard applications get set down for ordinary listing
- Subpoena applications need to identify custodians and specific documents — fishing is not permitted
- Expert appointments should specify the scope and the questions — open-ended instructions create delay
