Assemble Victorian costs figures where a settlement needs court approval
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- From the invoices and the settlement figures the lawyer marks, set out the protocol partial payment, the disbursements and the uplift. Do not draft the affidavit or the application that is filed.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer writes anything filed. The tool only organises marked figures.
- The $10,000 partial payment is for the initial approval only.
- Reconcile it at final settlement. The settlement date sets the price points.
- Do not add a Victorian court rule number the opened sources do not state.

Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | Supporting preparation only. Limit any support to organising, indexing or comparing the source material. The tool writes nothing that goes into the document. The tool writes nothing into the document. Substantive advice, judgement and any restricted content remain with the responsible human. |
| Lawyer | Perform the substantive analysis and decisions. Independently check any permitted supporting work and approve the exact output for its intended use. |
Checklist
- Trace every relied-on figure to its source, confirm dates and assumptions, and independently recalculate totals or derived amounts.
- Check the current court or regulator requirements, prescribed form and attachments for the intended document and filing.
- Confirm that the wording reflects the client’s instructions and contains no unintended admission, concession or commitment. Check the recipient and tone.
- Confirm the output against the client’s instructions and the complete relevant source material, including omissions or contradictions.
- Resolve exceptions and record the responsible lawyer’s approval of the exact output and intended use.
