| What the lawyer must review | Match the diagnosis words to the report. Do not add the sinus. The opened definition does not include it. Use this definition when the limitation question is live. Keep the reports in the firm tool under ASCR r 9, APP 11 and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). |

## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

Queensland defines a dust-related condition in schedule 2, and the limitation section picks up that definition.

- What the AI does: Set the diagnosis beside schedule 2 of the Civil Liability Act 2003 and mark whether it is a named disease, inside the catch-all, or not covered by the text.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the diagnosis meets schedule 2.
- 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. The named diseases are aluminosis, asbestos induced carcinoma, asbestosis, asbestos related pleural diseases, bagassosis, berylliosis, byssinosis, coal dust pneumoconiosis, farmers' lung, hard metal pneumoconiosis, mesothelioma, silicosis, silicotuberculosis and talcosis.
2. The catch-all is any other pathological condition of the lung, pleura or peritoneum attributable to dust.
3. The catch-all says lung, not lungs, and it does not include the sinus.
4. Limitation of Actions Act 1974 s 11(4) uses this definition.

## Notes

- No damages-cap exclusion was found in the text opened. Do not infer one from the definition.
- The schedule was read on AustLII.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Civil Liability Act 2003 (Qld) schedule 2

**Deliverable**: A diagnosis comparison against schedule 2.

**Inputs**

- Diagnosis report
- Schedule 2 text

**Example**: Illustrative example: The report says silicosis. The tool marks silicosis as a named disease. A report of a sinus condition is marked as not covered by the text opened. The lawyer decides attribution for any catch-all condition.

**Stop and escalate when**

- A disease is marked as named when it is not in the list.
- The sinus is marked as included.
