Who does what

Who does what
RoleWhat they do
AssistanceSupporting preparation only. List the open questions on the file that an early prospects advice would have to answer. Write none of the advice, and write none of any letter the client receives. The tool writes nothing into the document. Substantive advice, judgement and any restricted content remain with the responsible human.
LawyerPerform the substantive analysis and decisions. Independently check any permitted supporting work and approve the exact output for its intended use.

Checklist

  1. Each item is an open question tied to a document or a missing document. The list does not answer it.
  2. Questions that are open until the lawyer decides them include which Act section 6 allocates, whether section 237 is met, and whether Civil Liability Act section 5 takes the Act out of deciding liability or awards for this injury. Do not reduce section 237 to a 20 per cent rule.
  3. A question about a notice date or a limitation date stays a question. The list does not calculate it.
  4. The deliverable is the list. It is not the prospects advice and it is not a letter the client receives.

Sources

The source task treats the advice as the lawyer's work. This version keeps that line: the tool writes none of the advice.

If the person may be under a legal incapacity, the litigation-guardian question is listed and not decided.
