Checklist
- List figures, refunds and any fee estimate, each with its source. Do not recommend acceptance or refusal.
- Rule 15.08 still requires the Court's approval before the compromise is valid. This task does not prepare the approval papers.
- Funds in Court describes a central consideration. The judgment it discusses was not opened. Do not treat the page as the judgment.
- The list is not the advice and it is not filed.

Funds in Court says the central consideration on an order under rule 15.08 is whether or not acceptance of the claim is outweighed by the possibility of a better outcome for the plaintiff at trial. The page attributes that sentence to a Supreme Court judgment. The judgment was not opened. The sentence is recorded as the page's account, not as a quotation checked against the judgment. Rule 15.08 requires the Court's approval before the compromise is valid, so far as it relates to the claim.
The lawyer writes the advice on whether acceptance is in the person's interests. The tool lists the figures only. Preparing the approval papers is a separate task. If the product supports a court document, apply the note for that court: Supreme Court Practice Note SC GEN 25 (14 May 2026), the County Court practice note on artificial intelligence by court users (9 June 2026), or the Magistrates' Court guidelines issued 19 October 2026. One tool cannot verify another. Do not put confidential or sensitive information into a public tool.
