Interim Claim or Supplemental Interim Claim - Submit Before Opinion Issues

ADI cannot recommend payment on an Interim Claim or a Supplemental Interim Claim after the Court of Appeal issues the opinion.  After an opinion issues, payment only on a Final Claim can be recommended.  Please prepare an Interim Claim or a Supplemental Interim Claim well before the Court of Appeal has submitted the case for decision.
