Forward: Capitalisation Rules Request - Tracey Parker (McCullough
Robertson Lawyers)

Good afternoon,

I'd like to ascertain what the practice is in other legal firms in
relation to capitalisation when referring to document names within
letters, for example. Our practice is not to capitalise the names of
legal documents such as 'contracts', 'leases', 'deeds', 'agreements'
etc (unless the name has been defined) or unless it is a prescribed
court form which contains guidelines for capitalisation.

I would appreciate hearing what the practice is in other firms? In
particular in relation to the capitalisation (or not) of government
department forms, eg 'Form 1 Transfer' (or 'form 1 transfer'),
Certificate of Title etc? Given that these are the actual titles of
prescribed departmental forms, there is argument that they should be
capitalised?

Kind regards

Tracey Parker
