When you create a new matter in LEAP, a list of different areas of law will appear for a particular province. Each area of law has its own matter types, and each matter offers a carefully selected list of cards and standard tables. The LEAP Content Development Team creates these tables which can be set as default or non-default tables on a matter.

Every matter in LEAP has a set of tables that are specific to that matter. There are two types of tables that appear in a matter, which are: card tables and layout tables.

Card Tables

A card table requires a user to enter information about a person, business, government department or trust relevant to a matter, such as a party to a proceeding, an expert, a valuator, or a courthouse.

Layout Tables

A layout table is a table in a matter where information relevant to that matter needs to be filled out and will populate onto legal documents. A table has a name, fields and/or calculations related to that table.

For example, under the Divorce & Separation matter type, there is a table called “Child details” where information about the child’s school, grade, and names of the people the child lives with is filled out onto the table.

The LEAP Content Development Team creates the fields and calculations that appear on tables in each matter.

When you open a matter, the cards and layout tables have fields that are all created by the LEAP Content Development Team.

The team creates calculations to make the data perform what is required, such as calculating the sum of two amounts.

When a form is opened, it will be automated using fields and calculations, and the software does more work than what it looks like on the surface.

LEAP provides users with access to a wide range of legal documents, including court forms and government forms. This database is maintained by the LEAP Content Development Team.

The forms are kept up-to-date and users don’t need to worry that they are using an older version of a form.

LEAP provides its users with a list of government fees (i.e., court and land registry fees) that is easy and quick to access. These fees include registering an instrument under the Registry Act and court fees, such as issuing fees, filing fees, and printing fees.

The Quick Calculator is used to easily calculate dates for users. For example, if a user must file a court document within the next 6 days, the calculator can tell you what date the document needs to be filed by.
