## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

The lawyer decides the effect on the civil figures. The tool lists the components of the order.

- 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: Decide how any amount paid under the order is brought to account.
- 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. Section 85B covers pain and suffering, counselling, medical expenses and other expenses caused by the offence, where the court finds the person guilty or convicts them. It does not cover loss of or damage to property.
2. The court may direct instalments, and that the balance becomes due if an instalment is missed. Record the instalment terms if the order states them.
3. The opened section does not say a later civil claim is reduced by the order. List amounts paid and amounts outstanding separately.
4. The order is made on the application of a person who suffered injury as a direct result. Record whether the civil claimant is that person.

## Notes

- Do not deduct the order from the civil claim unless the lawyer has decided to bring a paid amount to account.
- A scheme payment is a different figure. Do not net them off in this list.
- Health information in the order stays in a firm-controlled tool. ASCR r 9 and APP 11 apply, and a breach may be notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Sentencing Act 1991 (Vic) s 85B, read with a later civil claim

**Deliverable**: A component list of the order, with payment status. The lawyer decides the effect on the civil figures.

**Inputs**

- The compensation order
- Proof of what has been paid
- Section 85B

**Example**: Illustrative example: The order is $8,000 for pain and suffering, of which $2,000 is recorded as paid. The list shows both figures. It does not subtract $2,000 from the civil claim.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The order does not separate injury from property.
- There is no record of what has actually been paid.
