## 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 this one person's treatment, wage and product records against questions the lawyer has already written for specific causation. The tool writes no part of the letter of instruction and no part of the report. |
| What the lawyer must review | Write the letter of instruction. The questions and assumed facts are the lawyer's. Keep this brief to specific causation for one person. Do not make it the group's common-question report. In New South Wales, draw the generative-AI practice note to the expert. The tool must not draft the report. Keep health and wage records in a firm-controlled tool. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

The lawyer writes the instructions and checks that the index is this person's records only.

- What the AI does: Index this one person's treatment, wage and product records against questions the lawyer has already written for specific causation. The tool writes no part of the letter of instruction and no part of the report.
- What the lawyer does: Write the letter of instruction. The questions and assumed facts are the lawyer's. This brief is specific causation for one person. It is not the common-question report for the group. In New South Wales, draw the generative-AI practice note to the expert. The tool must not draft the report. Keep health and wage records in a firm-controlled tool.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 23 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance. The Commonwealth text opened was the AustLII consolidation.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.
- Restriction: The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Use only questions the lawyer has written. Do not add a causation question.
2. Limit the index to this person's records. Do not treat the class data set as this person's history.
3. The lawyer writes the letter. The tool writes none of it.
4. Tell the expert, in New South Wales, of the generative-AI practice note before the report is prepared.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
