## 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 | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | List the s 143 facts, the s 87G discoverability facts, and both s 50C periods. Do not treat s 50C as replacing either Commonwealth clock. Do not state the s 50D test. |
| What the lawyer must review | Check s 50C for a cause of action to which that Division applies. It is not the Part 3-5 rule. Keep s 143 and s 87F on the safety-defect claim. Check s 50F for a minor or an incapacitated person. Facts known to a capable parent or guardian can be attributed. Leave any extension of the 12-year long-stop to Division 4 of Part 3. That Division was not opened. |

## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

In the Federal Court the safety-defect clocks are s 143 and Part VIB. In New South Wales a parallel action also meets s 50C and s 50F. Section 87G(4) is a separate attribution rule for the Commonwealth award bar.

- What the AI does: List the s 143 facts, the s 87G discoverability facts, and both s 50C periods. Do not treat s 50C as replacing either Commonwealth clock. Do not state the s 50D test.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer fixes the New South Wales period and both Commonwealth dates.
- 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. Record which s 50C period ends first.
2. Do not extend s 143 for minority.
3. Do not state the s 50D definition.
4. Keep a minor's capable-parent knowledge under s 50F separate from s 87G(4).

## Notes

- Practice Note SC GEN 23 and District Court General Practice Note 2 prohibit generative AI from generating affidavit content, and require leave before it drafts an expert report. Draw the note to the expert.
- Section 50C(2) was read only in part. Do not state a survivor-action test.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: A New South Wales personal-injury proceeding, beside the Commonwealth safety-defect clocks

**Deliverable**: A diary with s 50C, s 50F and both Commonwealth clocks on separate lines.

**Inputs**

- The act or omission date
- Discoverability facts the lawyer marks
- Whether the person is a minor

**Example**: Illustrative example: A child was injured and a parent knew the manufacturer's name three years ago. The lawyer checks s 50F for the state action and s 87G(4) for the award bar, and does not use one attribution for both.

**Stop and escalate when**

- Section 50D is filled in from memory.
- The 12-year period is extended without reading Division 4.
