What happens when a matter type is removed?

• No new matters can be created from the removed matter type.
• Any existing matters created using the removed matter type are unaffected and can still be used.
• Any recurring matter type templates created using the removed matter type are unaffected and can still be used.
• Existing matters created using the removed matter type will still appearing in LEAP reports.
• Any custom precedents saved to the removed matter type should be removed prior to the matter type being removed or this will Orphan the precedents. If this happens LEAP will create an Orphaned Precedents folder with any of these precedents so that can then be moved to a new destination in LEAP
