## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Insurance Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/insurance-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | Extract from the policy schedule, wording and claim correspondence the insurer, policy period, limit, retention, exclusions and the insurer's stated position, build a table of each element the claimant must establish against the evidence on file, and index the documents. The tool writes nothing in the originating process, any leave application or the evidence. |
| What the lawyer must review | Decide which statutory route applies to this defendant, whether leave is needed and whether the insurer can disclaim liability, draft the originating process and any leave application, and settle the evidence that the policy responded to the liability. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

- What the AI does: Extract from the policy schedule, wording and claim correspondence the insurer, policy period, limit, retention, exclusions and the insurer's stated position, build a table of each element the claimant must establish against the evidence on file, and index the documents. The tool writes nothing in the originating process, any leave application or the evidence.
- What the lawyer does: Decide which statutory route applies to this defendant, whether leave is needed and whether the insurer can disclaim liability, draft the originating process and any leave application, and settle the evidence that the policy responded to the liability.
- 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.
- Restriction: The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the instructions, the jurisdiction and the complete relevant material before starting.
2. Confirm the defendant's status from a current company search before choosing the route.
3. Check the elements table against the policy wording and the insurer's correspondence, including any notice of disclaimer.
4. Confirm no sentence produced by the tool appears in the filed documents.
5. Check the output against the source documents named in it before it is relied on.

## 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.
