## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

The lawyer writes the advice. The tool lists figures only. Funds in Court's central-consideration sentence is the page's account of a judgment that was not opened.

- What the AI does: In a firm-controlled tool, list only the settlement figures, the refund schedule and any manager's fee estimate, each with its source. The tool writes nothing of the advice and nothing that is filed.
- What the lawyer does: Make the legal assessment, check the source material and authorise the output for its intended use.
- 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. List figures, refunds and any fee estimate, each with its source. Do not recommend acceptance or refusal.
2. Rule 15.08 still requires the Court's approval before the compromise is valid. This task does not prepare the approval papers.
3. Funds in Court describes a central consideration. The judgment it discusses was not opened. Do not treat the page as the judgment.
4. The list is not the advice and it is not filed.

## Notes

- 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.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Victoria: figures only, for the lawyer's advice on a compromise for a person under disability

**Deliverable**: A sourced list of figures. The lawyer writes the advice.

**Inputs**

- Settlement figures with their sources
- Any refund schedule
- Any manager's fee estimate

**Example**: Illustrative example: The list sets out the sum offered, the section 93 amounts the lawyer has already accepted, and a fee estimate, each with its source. It does not say whether acceptance is in the child's interests. The lawyer writes that advice.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The tool would write the advice.
- The tool would write a document that is filed.
