Index one person's records for a New South Wales specific-causation brief
MaintainedLast reviewed
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- Index this person's records against questions the lawyer has written. The tool writes no part of the letter and no part of the report. This is one person's causation, not the common questions in the Part 10 proceeding.
- What the lawyer must review
- Write the letter. Draw SC GEN 23, or the District Court note if that is the court, to the expert.
- Generative AI must not draft any part of the report without prior leave.
- Para 23 is not an exemption. Leave to rely on a r 31.36 or s 315 report is at the first directions hearing.
- An index of documents is allowed, subject to the confidentiality conditions. The report is not.

- Apply paragraph 23 only to an expert report under UCPR r 31.36 or a pre-filing report under s 315 of the Workplace Injury Management and Workers Compensation Act 1998. It sets the time to seek leave to rely. It does not exempt the report.
