scope:

This standard establishes the file sequences, record types, and field formats to be used for the electronic bilateral exchange of legal orders, specific to levies and asset based orders.

The standard file format will enable an automated transport of standard formats for legal order presentment request types. This will include electronic legal services, presentment, ingestion of the document into a Financial Institution and its outbound response.

The file transmission specifications will contain data fields only. Future versions of this Standard may include transmission of supporting documentation.

The Financial Institution will follow the mandated state/federal regulations in the processing of legal orders. The standard does not address any changes to Regulations. The Financial Institutions and Requesters will abide by independent service level agreements established between the two parties to detail the specific expectations of service (included, but not limited to scope, quality, turnaround time and responsibilities).
