% The method of processing it depends upon whether you have turned
% LeXTeX into a format file or not. If you have not you should type
%
% TEX &amp;PLAIN EXAMPLE1
%
% If LeXTeX has been converted into a format file the command is
% TEX &amp;LEXTEX EXAMPLE1
%
% In the latter case the line further down which reads
% "\input lextex" can be deleted although leaving it alone will
% not cause any problem.
%
% In TeX everything that follows a percent sign (%) is a comment.
% As a result, these lines will not show up in the final
% printed document.
% You can, of course, amend the file in whatever way you choose
% (although some amnedments are likely to have odd effects)
%
% The next few lines provide some information used in processing 
% the file. The command \bstitle need only be used when formatting
% an Opinion or a draft in a non-litigious matter. It sets the
% title to be used on the backsheet.
%
% \solsref is the Solicitors' internal refererence.
%
% \colsref is the ACE case reference, omitting Counsel's initials.
%
% (These will be set by the command \col{XYZ} in the rhlocal.tex
% file which accompanies LeXTeX. The signature at the end is
% produced by the command \counsel{JOHN SMITH} in the same file.)
%
% The remaining commands provide information to the Clerks for
% charging purposes.
%
% It may be found useful to keep a copy of these commands in a 
% separate file or in a macro.
%
% Note that in the clauses which follow various commands are 
% surrounded by vertical bar characters (|). Do not type
% these bars. They are there simply to enable the command name
% to be printed in the file instead of being interpeted
% by LeXTeX.

% The next command tells LeXTeX that the case is in the Chancery

% given the full (or partial) case reference, eg \ch{1991 X 1234}

\writ

\cl This file is intended to demonstrate various things,
such as the way in which the names and addresses of the
parties are formatted. If the command |\writ| immediately
above this clause is changed to |\os| the file will be
formatted as an Originating Summons.

\cl The addresses of the parties will be left blank in the
writ or originating summons. If they are know they can be
inserted by using the command |\of{Brookfield Farm,
Ambridge}|. Two parties having the same address can be linked
by the word |\and|; this will, as might be expected, insert
``and'' between their names. If there are, say, three
parties having the same address the first two can be linked
by |\nand| and the second and third by |\and|. (The macros
which achieve this are not yet perfect, however.) If one
address is given, then an address must be given for all
parties, even if it takes the form |\of{\noaddr}|.


\cl \TeX\ can produce various accents, although there are
not, of course, many accented English words. Here are a few
accents. Pr\^et \`a na\"\i ve. 

\cl The Plaintiffs were induced to enter into an agreement
by the representation of the Defendants that the Defendants
had an account at the Borchester Branch of B.C.C.I. from
which a certain sum would be paid. The representation was
implied by the drawing of a cheque by the Defendants. The
representation was untrue in that the Defendants had no such
account. The representation was made falsely and
fraudulently by the Defendants in order to induce the
Plaintiffs to deliver a motor car to the Defendants. This
paragraph has been adapted from Volume~39 of \bo Atkin's
Court Forms\ok and is as such is no doubt copyright
(\copyright) Butterworths.

\cl Note that one of the items set out at the top of the
file and referred to above is |\colsref{SUEGRA/2}|. This is
the case reference as it appears in the ACE accounting
system. \LeXTeX\ extracts Sue Grabbit \&amp; Runne's name and
address from a file and inserts it into the proper place in
this document. Note that |SUEGRA| must be in capitals and
that the initials of the Counsel concerned are set in the
|RHLOCAL| file which accompanies \LeXTeX. 

\cl If this is an Originating Summons then of course the
next command should be removed.

\claim

\cl An Order that the Defendants should do something or
other

\cl Liberty to apply

\cl Costs

\amended\soc

\cl The command |\soc| produceds a Statement of Claim. If it
is changed to, for example, |\defence| the format of the
document will change. (Note that if a Writ and a Defence are
inclided in the same file \LeXTeX\ may become slightly confused
as to which party you are acting.) The command |\amended|
produces an amended Statement of Claim or other document.

\cl The \forwhom\ \wants\ that the statements of the
\notforwhom\  are a load of piffle. (It is not, of course,
normal to use {\tt\string\forwhom}, {\tt\string\notforwhom}
and {\tt\string\wants}  in this way; you are expected to
know for whom you act.)

\cl How about an accent or two? Pr\^et \`a na\"\i ve.

\cl The Plaintiffs were induced to enter into an agreement
by the representation of the Defendants that the Defendants
had an account at the Borchester Branch of B.C.C.I. from
which a certain sum would be paid. {\xo The representation
was implied by the drawing of a cheque by the Defendants.}
{\ul The representation was contained in a letter from the
Defendants to the Plaintiffs dated the 20th July 1991.} The
representation was untrue in that the Defendants had no such
account. The representation was made falsely and
fraudulently by the Defendants in order to induce the
Plaintiffs to deliver a motor car to the Defendants. This
paragraph has been adapted from Volume~39 of \bo Atkin's
Court Forms\ok and is as such no doubt copyright
(\copyright) Butterworths.

{\ul\acl This is an additional clause

\acl This is another}

\claim

\cl An Order that the Defendants should do something or
other

\cl Liberty to apply

\cl Costs

\deponent{JACK WOOLEY}
 \of{Gray Gables, Ambridge, Borchester}
 \occupation{Hotel Proprietor}

\affidavit

\cl The command |\deponent| must precede the command
|\affidavit|. The commands |\of{[address]}| and 
|\occupation{[Occupation]}| are optional; if they are
omitted a suitable comment will be added.

\cl I am the owner of the above-mentioned hotel.

\cl There is now \exhibited the Conveyance of it to me dated
the 1st April 1955. Note that the exhibits are automatically
numbered by the cfommand |\exhibited| and the similar
command |\bundled|.

\cl The accounts for the last five years are now \bundled.

\cl If an affidavit is the only document in the file \LeXTeX\
will assume that it is to be filed on behalf of the
Defendant(s). If this is not the case it should be preceded
by the command |\clientpltrue|.

\cl This paragraph is included simply to bulk things out a
little bit so that the affidavit extends over onto the next
page.

\opinion 
I have settled the appropriate documents for the
consideration of my Instructing Solicitors. I have no
comments to make on them.

To change this Opinion into an Advice, simply change |\opinion| 
at the top of the file to |\advice|. 

\bye
