## 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 | Index the settlement deed, distribution scheme and the funding, costs and commission material as exhibits, and table every settlement sum, deduction, fee and litigation-history date beside the source document it comes from. Against the approval affidavit and submissions the lawyer has written, list each assertion with no source on the file and flag form departures from the court's settlement-approval rules and class actions practice note; the tool writes no part of the affidavit, and in this task it writes no part of the submissions either, because the approval submissions restate the sworn material and the tier follows the most restrictive component of the task. That is a confinement of this task, not a general rule about submissions. |
| What the lawyer must review | Settlement approval binds the class. The lawyer writes the affidavit and the submissions, and the deponent adopts the evidence as their own knowledge. Rebuild every sum, fee, commission and risk statement from the file, and confirm the court's current approval rules before filing. |
