## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Class Actions / Representative Proceedings](https://ailawframework.com/practice/class-actions-representative-proceedings.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| 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. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: Potential support includes preparing preliminary structure or wording and identifying points for review. Confirm the tool’s capability and permitted scope.
- What the lawyer does: Set the scope, verify the evidence, resolve exceptions and approve the final output for its intended use.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Suggested checking approach based on the task guidance. Complete the assessment for the actual tool, information and jurisdiction.
- Why: The plan reflects the described work and review requirements. Policy colours are not used to determine permission or checking.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm each factual assertion with the witness and original record. Preserve the witness’s own knowledge and words, and check the court’s rules for this document.
2. Confirm the output against the client’s instructions and the complete relevant source material, including omissions or contradictions.
3. Resolve exceptions and record the responsible lawyer’s approval of the exact output and intended use.

## Notes

- Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts. The checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
