Build the TAC protocol costs claim on a Victorian common law settlement
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the settlement date and the invoices the lawyer marks, list the protocol price point, any uplift the protocol allows, and the disbursements. Do not send the claim.
- What the lawyer must review
- Use the price point current at the date of final common law settlement.
- Attach the invoices. The TAC pays agreed costs within 14 days of the letter.
- If it did not resolve at conference and a writ issued, clause 19.7 applies instead.
- Do not invent a no-fault costs schedule. None was opened.
