Key facts

- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- In a firm-controlled tool, list each opened exclusion and the proceedings it covers, and mark any cap or threshold the opened text does not mention.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides which limits apply.
- Do not treat an unopened section as excluded. Sections 15A, 15B and 18(1)(c) were not opened.
- In Victoria, section 28C does not itself name dust. Confirm any regulation.
- Do not apply a damages-cap exclusion for dust in Queensland. None was opened.
