Disclose a disbursement funding arrangement with the costs agreement
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the funding terms the lawyer marks, draft the disclosure of who advances the disbursements, what the client must repay, and whether interest or a premium sits inside the speculative-claim cap. Do not send it.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer settles the disclosure, and any funding contract the client signs.
- State who advances the disbursements, and whether interest or a premium is repayable.
- In Queensland, do not put that interest inside disbursements if it is an additional amount.
- Keep medical details in the firm's system. Apply ASCR rule 9, APP 11, and the Privacy Act notifiable-breach test.
