Legal Documents

The University Records & Archives Management Policy includes the following requirements in relation to the management of legal documents:

(29) As soon as practicable after signing a legal document, the relevant organisational unit must send the document to RAMS (in accordance with RAMS procedures).

RAMS will:

  • Upload and save the document to CM(TRIM), alternatively contain the document within a organisational unit folder
  • Update access to the organisational unit

RAMS has developed a Legal Document Cover Sheet for legal documents, to facilitate their management. The form identifies key information in relation to the document such as:

  • who will be entitled to view the image of the document in CM(TRIM)
  • when it expires;
  • the parties to the contract;
  • name of business unit responsible for the contract
