## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Class Actions / Representative Proceedings](https://ailawframework.com/practice/class-actions-representative-proceedings.md) |
| Human involvement | Green: AI drafts, lawyer checks |
| How AI is used | From the filing date and the orders the lawyer supplies, enter in a fixed template the first case management hearing date, the date seven days before it, the opt-out date fixed by order, and any mediation or settlement-notice date stated in the orders. Tag each date to the order or to the practice-note paragraph. Do not decide whether a date should be moved. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer checks each date against the order or the practice note and diarises it. The lawyer decides whether to ask to move the first hearing. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: From the filing date and the orders the lawyer supplies, enter in a fixed template the first case management hearing date, the date seven days before it, the opt-out date fixed by order, and any mediation or settlement-notice date stated in the orders. Tag each date to the order or to the practice-note paragraph. Do not decide whether a date should be moved.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer checks each date against the order or the practice note and diarises it. The lawyer decides whether to ask to move the first hearing.
- 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 hearing date against the order, not against the ordinary four-week period, once an order exists.
2. Confirm the seven-day disclosure date is calculated back from the hearing date in the order.
3. Confirm the opt-out date is the date the Court fixed, and is blank if no date has been fixed.

## 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.
