Prepare the court bundle

Build, agree and lodge the hearing bundle on time.

1. Check the court order for bundle rules and deadlines
2. Collect pleadings, statements and evidence
3. Draft the bundle index
4. Agree the index with the other side (Supervisor signs off). Most people forget this: An index you did not agree leads to arguments at the hearing and can bring a costs order against you.
5. Paginate and bookmark the bundle
6. Check every page is readable and in order
7. Review the final bundle (Supervisor signs off)
8. Lodge the bundle with the court
9. Serve copies on the other side and counsel
