Assemble New South Wales costs figures for an incapacity settlement approval
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- From the invoices and the settlement figures the lawyer marks, set out the costs breakdown and whether section 76 approval is still required. Do not draft the affidavit or the application.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer writes anything filed. The tool only organises marked figures.
- Decide whether section 76(3A) applies on the day of the agreement.
- Section 8.10(4) is permission for statutory-benefits costs, not approval of the settlement.
- Do not add an infant as a separate ground.
