This is a reusable litigation prompt from the Litigation AI Prompt Repository. It is intended for Malaysian civil litigation but can be adapted by changing the placeholders. Use the Universal Litigator Control Block first where source discipline, adversarial review and authority verification matter.

Prompt

Draft appellate submissions for `[APPELLANT / RESPONDENT]`.

State the decision below, orders challenged, standard of intervention and questions presented. Address each ground by reference to the judgment, record, pleadings and applicable law. Explain why any error was material.

If acting for the Respondent, defend the result and identify alternative grounds on which it may be upheld. Address preservation, harmless error, discretion and proper appellate relief. Do not reargue the trial as if the appeal were a retrial.
