## 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 | Set each release, bar and deduction clause in the draft beside the other rights named on the file: further treatment, other defendants, and statutory benefits. Do not decide that a clause is effective, and do not calculate a refund. |
| What the lawyer must review | Decide which rights must remain outside the release. The client signs the deed, so check every clause. A term that purports to exclude, restrict or modify Part 3-5 liability is void under s 150. Court approval of the group settlement is separate from the individual's signature. Do not treat one as the other. Do not calculate a Medicare, Centrelink or NDIS refund in this task. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

The lawyer decides what the release may give up before the client is asked to sign.

- What the AI does: Set each release, bar and deduction clause in the draft beside the other rights named on the file: further treatment, other defendants, and statutory benefits. Do not decide that a clause is effective, and do not calculate a refund.
- What the lawyer does: Decide which rights must remain outside the release. The client signs the deed, so check every clause. A term that purports to exclude, restrict or modify Part 3-5 liability is void under s 150. Court approval of the group settlement is separate from the individual's signature. Do not treat one as the other. Do not calculate a Medicare, Centrelink or NDIS refund in this task.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 23 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance. The Commonwealth text opened was the AustLII consolidation.
- 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. List treatment, other defendants and statutory benefits that the clause would release.
2. Flag any term that purports to exclude, restrict or modify Part 3-5. The lawyer decides the effect of s 150.
3. Do not treat court approval of the group settlement as a substitute for reading the individual's release.
4. Leave Medicare, Centrelink and NDIS refunds to their own tasks.

## 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.
