## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

The lawyer writes the Queensland claim. The tool lists the rule 22 filing and service steps.

- What the AI does: From the lawyer's facts sheet, list the approved-form claim, the attached statement of claim, the jurisdiction statement, and whether personal service is required. The tool does not write the claim.
- What the lawyer does: Settle the claim and the attached statement of claim, including the jurisdiction statement.
- 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. Use a claim in the approved form. State the nature of the claim or the relief sought, and attach a statement of claim.
2. For a District Court or Magistrates Court claim, show that the court has jurisdiction to decide the claim.
3. File the claim and the attachment, then serve them. Personal service is not required if service is in accordance with the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994, the repealed WorkCover Queensland Act 1996, or the Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003.

## Notes

- Supreme Court Practice Direction 5 of 2025 and District Court Practice Direction 12 of 2025 require a named practitioner to verify references in submissions. They are not a ban on generative AI in evidence.
- The Queensland Courts generative AI page says not to enter private, confidential, suppressed or privileged information into a public chatbot.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: A Queensland court in which a personal injury damages claim is started by claim under rule 22

**Deliverable**: A filing and service checklist. The lawyer writes the claim and the statement of claim.

**Inputs**

- The court
- The nature of the claim and the relief
- Whether service is under the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994 or the Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003

**Example**: Illustrative example: A District Court claim describes the injury but does not show jurisdiction. The checklist marks that gap. The lawyer adds the jurisdiction statement before filing.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The court is not identified.
- The tool is asked to write the claim or the statement of claim.
