## 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 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. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

SC GEN 23 and District Court General Practice Note 2 govern expert reports in those courts. They do not govern a Federal Court report. The lawyer writes the letter and tells the expert of the note.

- What the AI does: 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 does: The lawyer writes the instructions and draws the practice note to the expert.
- Who reviews: Lawyer competent in this practice area
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 23 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Use only the lawyer's questions.
2. Limit the index to this person's documents.
3. Tell the expert of the practice note before the report is prepared.
4. 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.

## Notes

- Practice Note SC GEN 23 and District Court General Practice Note 2 prohibit generative AI from generating affidavit content, and require leave before it drafts an expert report. Draw the note to the expert.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Supreme Court or District Court of New South Wales, for one group member's causation

**Deliverable**: An index against the lawyer's questions, and the letter the lawyer writes.

**Inputs**

- The lawyer's questions
- This person's records
- Which court

**Example**: Illustrative example: The expert is asked about this person's use of the product, not the common questions. The lawyer writes the letter, draws SC GEN 23 to the expert, and the tool only indexes the records.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The tool drafts any part of the report.
- Paragraph 23 is treated as permission to draft a product-liability report.
