| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| 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. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to the linked source and check for material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: 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 does: The lawyer decides whether the order is brought to account in the civil claim, and how. The opened sections do not themselves say 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.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check each component and amount against the order, including whether it has been paid.
2. Keep property compensation off the personal-injury row.
3. Do not write that the civil damages are reduced. Leave that decision to the lawyer.
4. In New South Wales, do not put a restitution figure into the victim's receipts.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
