Check a failure-to-warn allegation against the obvious-risk limit
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the failure-to-warn allegation and the risk description, build a limit table. The lawyer names the civil liability statute. Where that statute is the Civil Liability Act 2002 (NSW), the limit is s 5H, read with the s 5F description of an obvious risk. The tool does not decide whether a duty to warn was owed.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides whether s 5H applies and whether any exception is made out, and writes any pleading or advice. Other jurisdictions are checked on their own Act. The NSW sections are the ones opened for this task.
