+% This is a demonstration file, intended to show what LeXTeX does.
+% 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 &PLAIN EXAMPLE1
+%
+% If LeXTeX has been converted into a format file the command is
+% TEX &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
+% Division. It can be altered to \qb or \family. It can also be
+% given the full (or partial) case reference, eg \ch{1991 X 1234}
+% or \qb{1989}.

+\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 \& 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

+
+\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|.
