Thank you for using Calin® Professional V3.9.0.

 

I am a practising barrister with a special interest in software, technology & intellectual property law and the finer points of family law superannuation (see the SuperSolver software that I wrote for Australian family lawyers). I previously practised as a litigation solicitor from 1993.

 

I wrote Calin for legal and accountancy practitioners who not only need accurate interest calculations, but the immediate means to justify and particularise their calculations in court pleadings and other crucial presentations.

 

It is also designed as a workhorse for court registries, debt collectors and accounts departments, and anyone who wants to ensure they are not being charged too much (or being paid too little) interest.

 

It is designed to facilitate as nearly as possible a very wide range of statutory and contractual interest scenarios so that the calculated result is faithful to the underlying legal obligation.

 

My thanks to the assistance of all those extra-jurisdictional sources in USA, UK, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa.

 

Your suggestions for improving the software are welcome. Just send your feedback to feedback@calin.com.au

 

For legal assistance etc or conversion to other jurisdictions please contact me at chambers (tlewis@qldbar.net) or visit my website (www.tlewis.info).

 

Lawyers who need a good date calculator with all the tools you need to make decent chronologies etc, might like to try the multi-award winning Ultimate Date Calculator.

 

I suggest you now look at the Overview of Program Features page to survey the capabilities of the Professional version.

 

You should then start the program and have a look at the examples offered on the Introduction and Number of Amounts page.

 

Finally, it may be very helpful to peruse the user manual which is in PDF format. Go to the Help|User Manual menu item on the main form.
