## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Personal Injury & Compensation (workers compensation, CTP/TAC, medical negligence)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | List unanswered questions, missing dates and missing attachments on a pre-court notice. Write no answer, statement of fact, or statutory declaration. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer writes every declared answer. The client declares the notice. The tool writes nothing in it. Check the time, the respondent and any required certificate before the form is signed. Keep health and wage records in a firm-controlled tool, not a public one. ASCR r 9 and APP 11 apply. Decide if a breach is notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

- What the AI does: List unanswered questions, missing dates and missing attachments on a pre-court notice. Write no answer, statement of fact, or statutory declaration.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer writes every declared answer. The client declares the notice. The tool writes nothing in it. Check the time, the respondent and any required certificate before the form is signed. Keep health and wage records in a firm-controlled tool, not a public one. ASCR r 9 and APP 11 apply. Decide if a breach is notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
- 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.
- Restriction: The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the form is Form 1 version 7, and that the injury is not a medical incident.
2. List gaps only. Write no fact that would appear in the notice or the declaration.
3. Diary Part 1 from section 9(3), and Part 2 from section 9(3A), then check the form's wording against those subsections.
4. If the respondent is the State, check both the Crown solicitor requirement in section 9(8) and the form's Crown Law instruction.

## 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.
- The facts in Form 1 are declared under the Oaths Act 1867. The tool writes none of them, and no scaffold of them.
- If the same facts later go into an affidavit or witness statement in the District Court of New South Wales, its Generative AI Practice Note (commenced 3 February 2025) says generative AI must not generate that content.
- Supreme Court of Victoria practice note SC GEN 25 (commenced 14 May 2026) calls for particular caution where generative AI assists with affidavit material, a witness statement or an expert report. The document must reflect the person's own knowledge.
- Supreme Court of Queensland Practice Direction 5 of 2025 requires the practitioner responsible for written submissions to be named, and to verify the references.
