| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the consent order and the request for trial date, list which paragraph 18 items are addressed and which are explained as omitted. The tool does not build a court book the practice direction does not require. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether the proceeding is ready, and writes the order or the request. Do not add a key documents file. No opened Queensland practice direction prescribes one. If a consent order omits mediation, disclosure or the request for trial date, explain why. |

## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

There is no opened Queensland key-documents rule. The lawyer checks the Practice Direction 9 order and rule 467.

- What the AI does: From the consent order and the request for trial date, list which paragraph 18 items are addressed and which are explained as omitted. The tool does not build a court book the practice direction does not require.
- What the lawyer does: Decide readiness. The tool checks the consent order against paragraph 18.
- 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. Do not prepare a key documents file of the kind used in another court. No such Queensland direction was opened.
2. A Brisbane consent order under Practice Direction 9 of 2023 must be comprehensive, in Word, and give a date for each step.
3. It should, as appropriate, address disclosure, mediation, expert evidence under chapter 11 part 5, and filing a request for trial date.
4. Readiness is the request under rule 467, including that necessary witnesses will be available and that chapter 14 part 2 has been complied with in a personal injury or death claim.

## Notes

- Supreme Court Practice Direction 5 of 2025 and District Court Practice Direction 12 of 2025 require a named practitioner to verify references in submissions. They are not a ban on generative AI in evidence.
- The content of chapter 14 part 2 was not opened. The lawyer reads that part before treating the request as ready. Practice Direction 18 of 2018 is named but was not opened.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Supreme Court of Queensland, Brisbane, under amended Practice Direction 9 of 2023

**Deliverable**: A paragraph 18 checklist for the consent order. Not a key documents file.

**Inputs**

- The draft consent order
- The date of the defence
- Whether a request for trial date has been filed

**Example**: Illustrative example: The draft order sets disclosure dates and says nothing about mediation. The checklist asks for the paragraph 20 explanation. The lawyer adds the explanation or a mediation date.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The proceeding is on another managed list.
- The tool is asked to assemble a court book the direction does not require.

Checked 2026-10-23.
