| Practice area | [Personal Injury & Compensation (workers compensation, CTP/TAC, medical negligence)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Draft the written s 147 request and diary 30 days. If the claim will be a representative proceeding in the Supreme Court, flag Part 10 and Practice Note SC GEN 17. Do not call any supplier the manufacturer. |
| What the lawyer must review | Settle the written request and each known supplier it goes to. Diary 30 days. A non-complying supplier is taken to be the manufacturer for the action, but not for s 142(c). Use Part 10 only for a representative proceeding. SC GEN 17 applies to one commenced in the Supreme Court. Do not cite an unread paragraph of SC GEN 17. |

## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

The 30-day request is Commonwealth. The New South Wales difference is Part 10 and SC GEN 17 if a Supreme Court representative proceeding follows.

- What the AI does: Draft the written s 147 request and diary 30 days. If the claim will be a representative proceeding in the Supreme Court, flag Part 10 and Practice Note SC GEN 17. Do not call any supplier the manufacturer.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer settles the request and keeps it apart from Part 10 notices.
- 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. Confirm the notice asks for the manufacturer or the supplier's own supplier.
2. Do not apply the deemed-manufacturer rule to s 142(c).
3. Keep the request separate from any Part 10 opt-out notice under s 162.

## Notes

- Practice Note SC GEN 23 and District Court General Practice Note 2 prohibit generative AI from generating affidavit content, and require leave before it drafts an expert report. Draw the note to the expert.
- No New South Wales form number for the s 147 request was opened. Generative AI must not generate an affidavit proving the request.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: A supplier letter, then the Supreme Court if a Part 10 proceeding follows

**Deliverable**: The s 147 request, a 30-day diary, and a note if Part 10 will apply.

**Inputs**

- Known suppliers
- Purchase records
- The lawyer's forum choice

**Example**: Illustrative example: The shop does not answer in 30 days. The lawyer decides the s 147 consequence and does not use it for s 142(c). Any later opt-out notice is a Part 10 step under s 162, not this letter.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The request is treated as the opt-out notice.
- A supplier is the manufacturer for s 142(c).
