| How AI is used | From the cause the lawyer has named, record whether the lawyer has classed it as a child-abuse claim under Part 1B, a work claim, or a motor-accident claim. Do not invent a pre-court notice for Part 1B. |
| What the lawyer must review | Decide whether any notice statute applies. Part 1B, as opened, does not impose one. Confirm the name used for an unincorporated organisation is enough under s 6K. Confirm the set-aside forum is the court already hearing the action, citing s 7D. Keep the file in the firm's system. ASCR r 9 and APP 11 apply. |

## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

The lawyer decides whether a notice is required. The tool does not invent a Part 1B notice.

- What the AI does: From the cause the lawyer has named, record whether the lawyer has classed it as a child-abuse claim under Part 1B, a work claim, or a motor-accident claim. Do not invent a pre-court notice for Part 1B.
- What the lawyer does: Make the legal assessment, check the source material and authorise the output for its intended use.
- 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 sections of Parts 1B and 1C that were opened do not impose a pre-court notice of the kind in the Queensland pre-court Act.
2. Proceedings against an unincorporated organisation are commenced under s 6K, in the name of the organisation or a name reasonably sufficient to identify it.
3. An application to set aside an affected agreement is made in the court in which the action is brought, under s 7D.
4. Part 2A, which s 3B describes as special provisions for offenders in custody, was not opened and is not described. A work or motor-accident claim uses that scheme's own notice.

## Notes

- Do not describe a notice requirement from a part of the Act that was not opened.
- If this is used in a Supreme Court document, read Practice Note SC Gen 23. The Court's page records amendments that came into effect on 3 February 2025. The note itself was not opened, so no clause is quoted.
- Records on this file stay in a firm-controlled tool. ASCR r 9 and APP 11 apply, and a breach may be notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: New South Wales. The court in which the action is brought. There is no separate commission for this claim in the sections opened.

**Deliverable**: A note of the notice statute, if any, that the lawyer has selected.

**Inputs**

- The cause the lawyer has named
- Whether the organisation is unincorporated
- Whether the claim is a work or motor-accident claim

**Example**: Illustrative example: The claim is a Part 1B claim against an unincorporated church and not a work or motor claim. The tool records that the opened sections impose no pre-court notice, and that s 6K is how the proceeding is commenced. The lawyer confirms no other Act applies.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The claim is a work or motor-accident claim.
- The tool invents a notice period.
