Calculate interest on past monetary loss and leave out barred heads
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the past monetary loss, the period and the rate the lawyer has accepted, the firm-controlled tool shows the interest and leaves out any head the lawyer has marked as barred. It does not write a schedule that will be filed or served.
- What the lawyer must review
- You mark the heads on which interest is barred, and you supply the rate.
- You decide the period, and you do not treat an example formula as the rate.
- Use a firm-controlled tool. Wage, tax and care records are confidential under ASCR r 9 and APP 11.
- Decide whether a breach would be notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

Checklist
- Leave out non-economic loss, general damages, and the gratuitous-care heads the section names.
- Do not say the Queensland rate is half the bond rate. The example formula is for expenses incurred at a uniform rate.
- Do not apply the whole of New South Wales s 18 to a Motor Accident Injuries Act 2017 award.
- In Victoria, do not invent an interest bar. The opened Wrongs Act table of provisions has no interest-on-damages section.
