Bring a sentencing-court compensation order into the civil damages figures
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the compensation order, list each component, the amount, whether it is personal injury or property, and whether the order says it has been paid. Do not decide that the civil claim is reduced.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides whether the order is brought to account in the civil claim, and how.
- Do not treat the opened sections as saying the order reduces later civil damages.
- Do not treat a State restitution figure as money the victim has received.
- Use a firm-controlled tool for health records. ASCR r 9, APP 11 and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) apply.
