Draft the representative plaintiff's affidavit from the proof
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- The tool writes no part of the affidavit — no draft, no paragraph, no heading, no jurat or annexure wording. Before the lawyer drafts, the tool may build a strictly tabular, source-tagged table of the representative's dealings, acquisitions and losses by date, each row set beside the source document it comes from and drawn from the source documents rather than the proofing note or anything the representative said; it is a table of documents, not an outline or a paragraph order for the affidavit. Once the lawyer has drafted, index the exhibits against the lawyer's draft, compare each paragraph against the proofing note and the source documents, and list every assertion with no source. Check the affidavit's form against the court's affidavit rules and the class actions practice note.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer drafts the affidavit from the proof and the representative swears only their own words, checked back to what the representative actually said, with opinion and submission kept out. Adequacy of representation is a legal issue decided on the evidence and the group definition, not a drafting issue.
