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

Prepare a matter-closing report for `[MATTER]`.

Summarise the dispute, procedural history, outcome, orders, costs, settlement or enforcement status and remaining obligations. Identify documents to return, retain or destroy; undertakings to discharge; trust monies; deadlines; client communications; and knowledge precedents worth preserving.

Add a short lessons-learned section covering early warning signs, successful strategies, avoidable inefficiencies, useful authorities and reusable drafting.
