## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Class Actions / Representative Proceedings](https://ailawframework.com/practice/class-actions-representative-proceedings.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the proposed settlement terms the lawyer supplies, list in a table who would be eligible, who would not and the reason given, how any sub-groups are treated relative to each other, and any release, indemnity or covenant. Mark a release that appears to go beyond the claims in the proceeding. Do not rewrite the deed or the notice. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether the proposal can be put forward consistently with the applicant's duty in GPN-CA paragraphs 14.3 and 14.4, and whether the notice will explain relative benefit and ineligibility as paragraphs 15.2(j) and 15.2(k) describe. The lawyer also decides whether separate representation is needed. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: From the proposed settlement terms the lawyer supplies, list in a table who would be eligible, who would not and the reason given, how any sub-groups are treated relative to each other, and any release, indemnity or covenant. Mark a release that appears to go beyond the claims in the proceeding. Do not rewrite the deed or the notice.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the proposal can be put forward consistently with the applicant's duty in GPN-CA paragraphs 14.3 and 14.4, and whether the notice will explain relative benefit and ineligibility as paragraphs 15.2(j) and 15.2(k) describe. The lawyer also decides whether separate representation is needed.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- 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.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check each eligibility rule and release against the draft deed, not against a term sheet summary.
2. Confirm the table does not drop a sub-group that the deed treats differently.
3. Confirm any release wider than the pleaded claims is marked for the lawyer, and is not silently narrowed.

## 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.
