## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Family Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/family-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Record what the Court homepage and its news list actually say about AI. |
| What the lawyer must review | The homepage fetched on 10 October 2026 does not state an AI practice direction. Do not treat another court's practice direction as applying in this Court unless this Court's own instrument says so. A practice-direction index was not on that page, so the absence on the homepage is not a finding that no direction exists. |

## 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: Record what the Court homepage and its news list actually say about AI.
- What the lawyer does: The homepage fetched on 10 October 2026 does not state an AI practice direction. Do not treat another court's practice direction as applying in this Court unless this Court's own instrument says so. A practice-direction index was not on that page, so the absence on the homepage is not a finding that no direction exists.
- Who reviews: Lawyer competent in the matter and the forum
- Basis: Planning guidance checked against the linked public sources on 10 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.
- Why: The traffic light follows the consequence of an error and how much of the output the lawyer must check before it is used.
- Written for: WA

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Open the cited source and confirm it is the current instrument for this forum and this date.
2. The homepage fetched on 10 October 2026 does not state an AI practice direction. Do not treat another court's practice direction as applying in this Court unless this Court's own instrument says so. A practice-direction index was not on that page, so the absence on the homepage is not a finding that no direction exists.
3. Compare the output with the source and the instructions, including material the output left out.
4. The responsible lawyer approves the exact output for its intended use, or sends it back.

## Notes

- Suggested working checks from the linked public sources. Read the source and confirm it applies to this forum and this date. The checks do not approve software or record that the work is done.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Western Australia

**Deliverable**: Check the Family Court of Western Australia page before assuming an AI practice direction

**Inputs**

- Family Court of Western Australia
- The matter instructions and the documents the output will rely on.

**Example**: Stop before the result is filed, sent or relied on. The homepage fetched on 10 October 2026 does not state an AI practice direction. Do not treat another court's practice direction as applying in this Court unless this Court's own instrument says so. A practice-direction index was not on that page, so the absence on the homepage is not a finding that no direction exists.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The cited source is not the instrument that applies to this forum or this date.
- The output states a fact, date, citation, figure or commitment that is not in the instructions or the source.
- The responsible lawyer has not approved the exact output for its intended use.
