Draft the settlement-approval affidavit and s 33V(1) submissions
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- 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, flagging figures to source-check. The tool writes no part of the s 33V(1) affidavit and, in this task, no part of the submissions either, because the approval submissions restate the sworn material — no draft, no scaffold, no suggested paragraphs. Against the affidavit and the submissions the lawyer has written, list each assertion with no source on the file.
- What the lawyer must review
- Re-draft fully; verify the sum, scheme and payment mechanics
- Give a real risk analysis
- Disclose commission and fees under s 33ZF and Kain [2025] HCA 28
- Note Kain: no solicitors' CFO from the class fund in the Federal Court
- Depose only to personal knowledge (GPN-AI)
- Check ASIC v Noumi [2025] FCA 1524
