## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Class Actions / Representative Proceedings](https://ailawframework.com/practice/class-actions-representative-proceedings.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Apply the court-approved distribution scheme to each registered claim using the claimant’s documents and the trading, purchase or loss data: check eligibility against the scheme’s criteria, calculate the entitlement by the scheme’s formula, and flag claims with missing evidence, conflicts with the data or eligibility doubts for review. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer or scheme administrator decides every flagged claim, checks a sample of unflagged calculations against the scheme, decides any reconsideration request under the scheme, and approves the entitlement schedule before payment. |

## Checking plan

**Line-by-line review**

Review the complete output at the level of each line, paragraph or clause; check facts, meaning and omissions.

- What the AI does: Apply the court-approved distribution scheme to each registered claim using the claimant’s documents and the trading, purchase or loss data: check eligibility against the scheme’s criteria, calculate the entitlement by the scheme’s formula, and flag claims with missing evidence, conflicts with the data or eligibility doubts for review.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer or scheme administrator decides every flagged claim, checks a sample of unflagged calculations against the scheme, decides any reconsideration request under the scheme, and approves the entitlement schedule before payment.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check the formula and criteria used against the approved scheme document, not a draft.
2. Confirm each claimant is not recorded on the opt-out register.
3. Record the sample size and the error rate found in the unflagged calculations.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
