> Set each release clause beside this person's other rights. Do not decide that a clause is effective, and do not calculate a refund. Part 13A approval is separate from the signature.

## 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 clause beside this person's other rights. Do not decide that a clause is effective, and do not calculate a refund. Part 13A approval is separate from the signature. |
| What the lawyer must review | Check every clause. The client signs the deed. Decide whether this clause purports to exclude Part 3-5 liability. Such a term is void under s 150. Require section 103R approval. A signature does not replace it. If the person is under a legal incapacity, r 98 approval is also required. You write the affidavit. |

## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

Section 103R is the part 13A approval. Rule 98 is the Queensland rule for a person under a legal incapacity. Neither is a Federal Court rule.

- What the AI does: Set each release clause beside this person's other rights. Do not decide that a clause is effective, and do not calculate a refund. Part 13A approval is separate from the signature.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides what the Queensland release may give up.
- Who reviews: Lawyer competent in this practice area
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 23 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. List treatment, other defendants and statutory benefits the clause would release.
2. Flag a Part 3-5 exclusion.
3. Do not treat s 103R approval as a reading of the individual's deed.
4. Leave statutory refunds to their own tasks.

## Notes

- If a submission is filed in the Supreme Court of Queensland, Practice Direction 5 of 2025 requires a named practitioner to verify the references. It is not a general ban on generative AI.
- Rule 98 material is not served unless the court orders otherwise. The lawyer writes the solicitor's affidavit.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Supreme Court of Queensland, part 13A, and r 98 if a party lacks capacity

**Deliverable**: A clause comparison settled by the lawyer.

**Inputs**

- The draft release
- The person's other claims
- Whether a party is under a legal incapacity

**Example**: Illustrative example: The deed releases the product supplier and a repairer. The lawyer marks the repairer for instructions. Section 103R approval of the group settlement does not decide that release.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The client signs before the clauses are checked.
- A refund is calculated here.
