| How AI is used | List the s 143 facts, the s 87G discoverability facts, and the s 11 date from when the cause of action arose. Do not start s 11 from knowledge, and do not drop a Commonwealth clock. |
| What the lawyer must review | Check s 11 for a parallel action of the kind it describes. It runs from when the cause of action arose. Keep s 143 and s 87F on the safety-defect claim. Section 11 does not replace them. Do not apply the dust exception except to a dust-related condition. Tobacco is outside that exception. Keep health records in a firm-controlled tool. |

## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

In the Federal Court the safety-defect clocks are s 143 and Part VIB. In Queensland a parallel action also meets s 11, which is not a discoverability period.

- What the AI does: List the s 143 facts, the s 87G discoverability facts, and the s 11 date from when the cause of action arose. Do not start s 11 from knowledge, and do not drop a Commonwealth clock.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer fixes s 11 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 three years from the date the cause of action arose.
2. Do not extend s 143 for minority. The section states no disability extension.
3. Queensland extension sections were not opened. Do not state an extension test.
4. Keep s 87G discoverability on the Commonwealth award bar only.

## Notes

- If a submission is filed in the Supreme Court of Queensland, Practice Direction 5 of 2025 requires a named practitioner to verify the references. It is not a general ban on generative AI.
- The personal-representative limbs of CCA s 87G(6) were not fully read.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: A Queensland personal-injury proceeding, beside the Commonwealth safety-defect clocks

**Deliverable**: A diary with s 11 and both Commonwealth clocks on separate lines.

**Inputs**

- Date the cause of action arose
- Commonwealth discoverability facts marked by the lawyer

**Example**: Illustrative example: The manufacturer was unknown for four years. The lawyer does not close the safety-defect claim on s 11. Section 143(1) runs three years from when the person became aware, or ought reasonably to have become aware, of the alleged loss or damage, the safety defect, and the identity of the manufacturer. Section 143(2) still requires the action to be commenced within 10 years of the supply by the manufacturer.

**Stop and escalate when**

- Section 11 is diarised from the date of knowledge.
- A Commonwealth clock is deleted because s 11 has expired.
