Feature 05 · Drafting & editing

Drafting that cannot touch the record

Open a case file document to work on it and you get a private working copy; the original is untouched. The dispute frames the draft, the agents cite exhibit numbers, saves cut immutable versions, export renders a PDF in the case’s styling. “File to ADR” is refused until ADR offers it — and then it will be an act, never a sync.

01What you see

AIOL drafting editor on a Statement of Reply for case CR/001/26. — Captured from AIOL’s development instance, on its demonstration case.The claimant's reply, in the editor, framed by the case.

02How it is used

Start from an exhibit (a private working copy), from blank, or from one of the centre's templates.
Draft with the agents — structure for the stage, arguments grounded in the exhibits, procedural compliance against the calendar and the terms of reference.
Save a version when it matters; review proposals; export the PDF.
File it on ADR — by exporting and filing there, until “File to ADR” is offered.

Private by default. A half-written memorial is never readable by the other side; sharing into the session is explicit.
“Current” is the draft you opened last.

03Technically

Own tables. dispute_drafts, _versions, _suggestions, _exports — a draft is private to its party from birth and bound to one dispute.
Originals are immutable. An exhibit forks a working copy (origin = aiol_created, linked to the source); a second open returns the same copy.
The frame is server-side. Seat → jurisdiction, applicable law, language from the locale, role as position; the client sends content and a reason, never a frame.
Append-only. Named saves and exports cut versions and audit rows; proposals are anchored, verified and recorded with their resolution.

filing, today

POST /api/v1/adr/drafting/current/file
501 { reason: "not_offered_by_adr",
        wayRound: "export the PDF and file it on ADR" }

ADR owns the record; AIOL is the workbench. When filing is offered it will be an explicit, signed act by a party — never a background sync.

Scene 1 of 4

An exhibit is never edited

Open a case file document to work on it and AIOL forks a private working copy, origin aiol_created, linked to its source. The record is untouched; a second open returns the same copy, not another one.
