MaintainedLast reviewed
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From figures the lawyer accepts, show the difference between the gross compensation to be repaid and the net amount the person kept. Do not decide whether that difference is part of past loss.
- What the lawyer must review
- Use only figures the lawyer accepts
- Do not add back tax on repaid compensation. No section in this note requires it.
- Section 54 still caps weekly loss if chapter 3 applies
- Wage and tax records stay in a firm-controlled tool. Check ASCR r 9, APP 11 and Privacy Act notification

Checklist
- Show the gross amount to be repaid and the net amount kept, both as the lawyer accepts them, and the difference.
- No opened section of the Civil Liability Act requires the tax paid on repaid compensation to be added back. The tool does not say that it must.
- If chapter 3 applies, section 54 still limits the weekly loss of earnings. The difference is not a way around that cap.
- Do not state a tax ruling that was not opened. The lawyer names any Commonwealth provision the lawyer relies on.
