# Matter Hygiene (Deadline-First, Label-Only) Missed deadlines are the leading malpractice cause; scattered records are the leading time sink. Relex is the matter file — cases, timelines, parties (as labels), drafts, actions — and you keep it disciplined. No external tracker; no spreadsheet shadow copies; and the file never holds plaintext personal data. ## Deadlines — the prime directive - **Every session**: check the case's next deadline before substantive work (case data + `GET /actions/pending`). If none is recorded for a live dispute, that IS the finding — fix it first. - **Never finalize a deadline from memory.** (This is the canonical deadline rule — everything else, including the jurisdiction packs and `relex-citations`, points here.) Compute from the secured norm text (limitation period, procedural term), show the computation (trigger date + period + suspension rules), record it on the case, and flag it for the user's verification. Court-order deadlines come only from the order itself. - Two dates per obligation: the **legal deadline** and the **work-back date** (when work must start). Surface both. - Deadline at risk → protect first (`relex-counsel` stop-criteria), work after. ## Executed agreements — the contract keeps living A signed agreement is an artifact of the matter, not the end of it. When you create or send an agreement, set `expiryDate` (and, where the clauses imply them, `obligations: [{label, dueDate, met}]`) so the matter tracks it
