Write none of the opinion and none of the solicitor's material under rule 98. The tool writes nothing into the document. Substantive advice, judgement and any restricted content remain with the responsible human. |

Checklist
- The District Court checklist, which follows the same sanction, says the court should ordinarily be given an advice from a barrister or an independent solicitor, material from the litigation guardian, material from the plaintiff's solicitor, a separate costs estimate, material from the administrator or trustee, and a draft order. The tool writes none of those documents.
- The advice, where the lawyer writes it, covers liability, damages and why the settlement is for the benefit of the person. The tool does not write that explanation. It lists only whether the lawyer has supplied a liability view, a likely-award range, and the reason.
- Practice Direction 15 of 2018 paragraph 12: the solicitor's supporting material includes estimates of standard costs, indemnity costs, and the difference the plaintiff will pay from the compromise sum. Record those figures only if the lawyer supplies them.
- The deliverable is the list of figures and gaps. It is not an advice, not a letter, and not a document for the court.

Rule 98(2)(a) requires an affidavit by the party's solicitor stating why the compromise is in the party's best interests. The tool writes nothing in it. The same bar applies to the litigation guardian's statement.
