## 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 treatment, wage and product 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 4A proceeding. |
| What the lawyer must review | Write the letter of instruction. The questions are yours. Verify the letter yourself. SC GEN 25 calls for particular caution with expert reports. Do not use the class data set as this person's history. Keep the records in a firm-controlled tool. |
| Written for | Victoria |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

The brief is for one injured group member. If it is used in the Supreme Court of Victoria, SC GEN 25 applies. That note does not govern a Federal Court expert report.

- What the AI does: Index this person's treatment, wage and product 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 4A proceeding.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer writes the Victorian instructions and checks the index.
- 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 questions the lawyer has written.
2. Limit the index to this person's documents.
3. The lawyer writes the letter.
4. Do not ask the tool to draft or verify the report.

## Notes

- If the work reaches the Supreme Court of Victoria, Practice Note SC GEN 25 requires the lawyer to verify output. Do not put health records into a public AI tool. One AI tool cannot verify another.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Supreme Court of Victoria, 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 treatment and product records

**Example**: Illustrative example: The common-question report does not deal with this person's surgery date. The lawyer writes a separate letter. The tool indexes only that person's records.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The tool adds a causation question.
- Class-wide data is treated as this person's history.
