Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used

- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides which insurer or nominal body must receive the claim.
- A search result is a lead. Confirm it against the policy or the scheme register.
- Do not send the claim until that recipient is checked.
- Health, wage and scheme records stay in the firm tool. ASCR r 9 and APP 11 apply, and a breach may be notifiable.
