Questions for SME #44

Closed stevejaubz closed 3 years ago

stevejaubz commented 3 years ago

@nonprofittechy were you the SME on this form/ are you willing to take a look. I have been working on resolving some of the technical issues but I'm coming across changes I want to double check with a SME before I change.

My review indicates that paragraph 3 in the docx inserts language based on whether the user has filed an answer, is filing the answer now with their motion to vacate, or has not filed previous and is not filing one now.

`3. {% if answer_yesno %} I already filed an Answer which explains my defense. {% else %}  {% endif %} {% if not answer_yesno and answer_help %} I am filing a proposed Answer (attached), which explains my defenses/counterclaims, and ask that it be approved as a late filed answer if this motion is allowed. {% elif answer_yesno or not answer_help %}  {% endif %}

I have a good defense to the landlord's case, as specified below:
{{ stated_legaldefense }}

I am guessing that this logic is wrong based on how I understand the language here should work. I'm proposing:

3.  {%p if answer_yesno %} I already filed an Answer which explains my defense. {%p endif %} {%p if not answer_yesno and answer_help %} I am filing a proposed Answer (attached), which explains my defenses/counterclaims, and ask that it be approved as a late filed answer if this motion is allowed. 
{%p elif not answer_yesno or not answer_help %}  

I have a good defense to the landlord's case, as specified below:
{{ stated_legaldefense }}
{%p endif %}

Here, the only time that a user is asked to write in their legal defense is if they have not already submitted an answer and are not providing one now

Docx - Section 6 does not exist - confirm it means section 4

stevejaubz commented 3 years ago

This should not be sent to court (?) requires getting a court appointment before filing

stevejaubz commented 3 years ago

{{ stated_legaldefense }} - Why is this in here - question id: legal defense - is the logic around this correct? Why are we requiring a write in when they have provided an answer - I would think we only need it if they have no answer at all

id: exit screen 2 "You are filing 10 days after the default judgment which means you must ask a judge to stay the execution (stop the eviction) until this motion is heard."

should we include the stay pg. 5 with different language if the date is greater than 10 days?
