## 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 | From the pleadings and the documents marked for this purpose, list the liability documents the applicant does not have, what is known and unknown about the number of class members and the quantum of their claims, and any method already proposed for gathering and exchanging that information. Note whether pleadings have closed and whether a case management hearing to investigate settlement has been fixed. Do not propose what another party should be ordered to give. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides what information can be exchanged without compromising the class action procedure, and what directions to seek. The lawyer conducts any settlement discussions. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: From the pleadings and the documents marked for this purpose, list the liability documents the applicant does not have, what is known and unknown about the number of class members and the quantum of their claims, and any method already proposed for gathering and exchanging that information. Note whether pleadings have closed and whether a case management hearing to investigate settlement has been fixed. Do not propose what another party should be ordered to give.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides what information can be exchanged without compromising the class action procedure, and what directions to seek. The lawyer conducts any settlement discussions.
- 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 list of missing liability documents against the pleadings, not against a summary.
2. Confirm class size and quantum are each marked known or unknown.
3. Confirm any proposed exchange is described as a method, and that the list does not itself propose orders.
4. If pleadings have closed, confirm a settlement case management hearing is on the timetable or marked as not yet 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.
