## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

Section 22 uses peer professional opinion widely accepted by a significant number of respected practitioners, and it does not apply to a warning about risk. The lawyer decides breach.

- What the AI does: Build a dated chronology from the records the lawyer names, quoting the entry and the page. Do not state whether peer professional opinion is established or whether a warning was required.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer reads the records and decides breach and any warning question under section 22.
- 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. Section 22(1): no breach if the professional acted in a way widely accepted by peer professional opinion by a significant number of respected practitioners as competent professional practice.
2. The opinion cannot be relied on if the court considers it irrational or contrary to a written law. Differing accepted opinions can each be relied on. Universal acceptance is not required.
3. Section 22(5): the section does not apply to liability for giving, or failing to give, a warning, advice or other information about a risk of harm associated with the service.
4. If the chronology later supports a submission, the Queensland Courts page points lawyers to Supreme Court Practice Direction 5 of 2025 and District Court Practice Direction 12 of 2025 on the accuracy of references.

## Notes

- Keep health information in a firm-controlled tool. Confidentiality is Australian Solicitors' Conduct Rules rule 9 and Australian Privacy Principle 11. Decide any notifiable breach under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
- A warning allegation is outside section 22(5). Do not park it in the peer-opinion row of the chronology.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Queensland, Civil Liability Act 2003 and the court hearing the claim

**Deliverable**: A dated clinical chronology with no peer-opinion conclusion and a separate flag for any warning issue.

**Inputs**

- Records the lawyer names
- Whether a warning allegation is in the issues list
- Court in which a document may later be filed

**Example**: Illustrative example: The issues list includes both the operative technique and what the patient was told. The chronology quotes the operation note and flags the consent note as a warning issue outside section 22. It does not say the technique was widely accepted.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The chronology applies section 22 to a warning allegation.
- Health information would leave the firm-controlled tool.
