How AI is used
List the date of birth, whether a tutor is recorded, and which approval is sought. The tool writes nothing in any affidavit. Section 173 does not state the incapacity-compromise rule.
What the lawyer must review
  • Write the application and any affidavit.
  • Use section 173 for the Part 10 settlement. It is not the incapacity-compromise rule.
  • Do not cite rule 7.14 as compromise approval. It is the tutor rule for commencing or carrying on a proceeding.
  • Find the compromise rule in the rules in force. Generative AI must not generate the affidavit.
