Check a pure mental harm claim for a recognised psychiatric illness
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the harm described in the medical material the lawyer supplies, build a single-question table. The lawyer names the civil liability statute. Where that statute is the Civil Liability Act 2002 (NSW), the question is s 31. The definition of pure mental harm was not opened. The tool does not decide whether the harm is a recognised psychiatric illness.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides whether the claim is for pure mental harm and whether the harm consists of a recognised psychiatric illness, and writes any pleading or advice. The definition section was not opened, so the lawyer applies the definition in the Act. Other jurisdictions are checked on their own Act. The NSW section opened for this task is s 31.
