| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | Index the approved scheme against this person's injury, treatment and wage records, and list mismatches. Do not write the objection. The objection is filed in the Part 4A proceeding. |
| What the lawyer must review | Write the objection. It is filed in the Supreme Court. Check SC Gen 10 para 16.2: no approval without an approved notice unless the Court is satisfied it is just.

## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

Part 4A approval is s 33V, managed under SC Gen 10. That is the Victorian path. The lawyer writes the objection. The tool only indexes the records.

- What the AI does: Index the approved scheme against this person's injury, treatment and wage records, and list mismatches. Do not write the objection. The objection is filed in the Part 4A proceeding.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer writes and settles the Part 4A objection.
- 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. Confirm s 33V approval is still required.
2. Index only this person's records.
3. Where funding charges would be paid from the settlement, note para 16.5 and the possible special referee.
4. Do not put health records into a public tool.

## 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.
- The tool writes nothing in the filed objection.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Supreme Court of Victoria, Part 4A settlement approval

**Deliverable**: The lawyer's objection, with a source index of this person's records.

**Inputs**

- The approved settlement notice
- The scheme
- This person's records

**Example**: Illustrative example: The notice approved under SC Gen 10 sets an objection date. The lawyer writes the objection from this person's records. The index is not filed as the objection.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The tool drafts the objection.
- The date is taken from an unapproved draft notice.

Checked 2026-10-23.
