Hi, VCAT Tribunal Books of this nature require strict structural control—especially when compliance with Practice Note PNBP1 (paras 42–47) is essential and accessibility requirements are involved. I understand this is not just document formatting; it is building a fully navigable evidentiary system that must function seamlessly in both hearing and review environments. I work with complex legal and evidentiary document compilation where accuracy, traceability, and navigation are critical. My approach is to first stabilise the entire document set: deduplication, OCR correction, and chronological structuring of all materials (pleadings, contracts, compliance records, correspondence, expert reports, and photographic exhibits). A master index and section-level indexing system will be created with full hyperlinking and bookmark architecture. Page numbering will be fully consecutive across the entire Tribunal Book, with strict alignment between electronic and hard copy versions to ensure no inconsistency during proceedings. Accessibility considerations—such as searchable text, clean scan orientation, and logical navigation paths—will be prioritised given the Applicant’s visual impairment, ensuring the final PDF is usable in both digital hearings and offline review. If you’d like, I can begin by reviewing a sample batch of documents to confirm structure before building the full Tribunal Book.
