Build the costs claim for a no-fault or statutory benefits dispute
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the dispute type and the stage the lawyer identifies, list the regulated maximum for that stage from the current schedule, and the disbursements the lawyer has marked. Do not send the claim to the insurer.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides whether costs are payable at all for this dispute, and the stage that applies.
- Use the indexed maximum current on the date of the work, not an older column.
- Do not claim costs for an internal review if the regulation says none are payable.
- Keep medical details in the firm's system. Apply ASCR rule 9, APP 11, and the Privacy Act notifiable-breach test.
