Check Queensland approval where a part 13A group member lacks capacity
MaintainedLast reviewed
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- List the date of birth, whether a litigation guardian is recorded, and which approval is sought. The tool writes nothing in any affidavit. Part 13A approval and r 98 are separate.
- What the lawyer must review
- Write the application and the affidavit.
- Use section 103R for the part 13A settlement. Rule 98 makes an incapacity compromise ineffective without approval.
- Confirm the solicitor's affidavit and the litigation guardian's statement that instructions were given.
- Do not serve that material unless ordered. Public Trustee Act s 59, cited in r 98, was not opened.
