## 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. Practice Direction 5 of 2025 is about submissions. It is not an expert-report ban. The lawyer still writes the letter. |
| What the lawyer must review | Write the letter. The questions are yours. Limit this to one person's causation, not the common questions in the part 13A proceeding. If a submission quotes the report, name the practitioner and verify the references under Practice Direction 5 of 2025. Do not cite the District Court generative-AI direction. It was not opened. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

The brief is for one group member. Practice Direction 5 of 2025 governs submissions in the Supreme Court, not a Federal Court report, and it does not ban an expert report. The lawyer writes the letter.

- 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. Practice Direction 5 of 2025 is about submissions. It is not an expert-report ban. The lawyer still writes the letter.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer writes the Queensland instructions.
- 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. Do not describe Practice Direction 5 of 2025 as an expert-report ban.
4. Keep the records in a firm-controlled tool.

## Notes

- If a submission is filed in the Supreme Court of Queensland, Practice Direction 5 of 2025 requires a named practitioner to verify the references. It is not a general ban on generative AI.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Supreme Court of Queensland, 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

**Example**: Illustrative example: The common questions do not ask about this person's batch code. The lawyer writes a separate letter. Any submission that cites the report names the practitioner who checked the citations.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The tool drafts the letter.
- Practice Direction 5 of 2025 is treated as forbidding the expert report.

Checked 2026-10-23.
