| Practice area | [Personal Injury & Compensation (workers compensation, CTP/TAC, medical negligence)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | Index the reports, the diagnosis dates and the note of the plaintiff's health, with a document reference for each row. Write nothing that is filed. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether the claim should leave the usual process and writes the application. Do not put a day count in the index. The timetable document was not opened. Book the Sydney room only through the registry, and only if it is needed. Keep the reports in the firm tool under ASCR r 9, APP 11 and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

A gravely ill plaintiff can be taken off the usual claims process, and bedside hearings can be held at any time.

- What the AI does: Index the reports, the diagnosis dates and the note of the plaintiff's health, with a document reference for each row. Write nothing that is filed.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether to apply to remove the claim from the usual process and writes the application. The tool only indexes.
- 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. The claims page says the application is by notice of motion, supported by an affidavit and medical evidence.
2. Judges can hold bedside hearings at any time of the day or night, on any day.
3. The case-types page says there is a Sydney room with a hospital bed and an oxygen concentrator. Email dust.diseases.tribunal@justice.nsw.gov.au or phone 02 9377 5440 to ask about the room.
4. Advice to Practitioners No. 1 of 2019 is on the index. That document was not opened, so no step is taken from it.

## Notes

- The Dust Diseases Tribunal practice-notes index opened on 23 October 2026 has no generative AI note. Do not treat a Supreme Court note as the Tribunal rule. Do not enter confidential information into a public tool.
- The tool writes no affidavit and no notice of motion.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Dust Diseases Tribunal, urgent and bedside hearings

**Deliverable**: An index of reports and dates, and the application written by the lawyer.

**Inputs**

- Medical reports
- Whether the plaintiff is gravely ill
- Whether the claim is in the claims resolution process

**Example**: Illustrative example: The report says the plaintiff is gravely ill. The tool indexes the report. The lawyer prepares the notice of motion and the affidavit. The tool writes neither.

**Stop and escalate when**

- A day count from the unopened timetable is included.
- Anything generated is placed in the application.

Checked 2026-10-23.
