Compare a consent form with the risks the notes record as discussed
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the consent form and the consultation notes the lawyer has selected, make a table with one row per risk named in either document, recording whether the form names the risk, whether the notes record that it was discussed, and the page, and adding a row where the notes record a discussion the form does not name. Do not decide that a risk was material or that a warning was adequate.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides which risks were material and whether the warning was adequate.
- A signature on a form is not, by itself, a record that a risk was discussed.
- The peer-opinion section does not answer a warning row. See the warning task.
- Health information stays in a firm-controlled tool, not a public one.

| Lawyer | Set the scope, supervise the work closely, verify every part relied on, resolve omissions and exceptions, and approve the exact output. |
Checklist
- Cite the page of the form and the page of the notes for every row. Leave the notes cell blank where the notes are silent.
- Do not treat a signed form as proof that a risk was discussed. That is the lawyer's finding.
- Do not decide materiality. The sections opened carve warnings out of the peer-opinion test. They do not define which risks had to be mentioned.
- In Queensland, do not drop a warning row because section 9A(10) says the specialist report need not address it.

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.
Health information stays in a firm-controlled tool. Rule 9.1 of the Legal Profession Uniform Law Australian Solicitors' Conduct Rules 2015, as described by the Victorian Legal Services Board and Commissioner, and APP 11, apply. The lawyer decides whether any loss is notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
No judgment defining a material risk was opened for this task. The lawyer applies the warning test.
