| 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 7 candidates from the labels and import records. A representative proceeding in the Supreme Court is under Part 10 of the Civil Procedure Act 2005. Practice Note SC GEN 17, current from 1 August 2024, applies to those Supreme Court proceedings. It does not govern a Federal Court proceeding. |
| What the lawyer must review | Decide which s 7 paragraph applies, including a brand owner and an importer. Treat a name or brand on the goods as presumed, unless the contrary is established. Use Part 10 and SC GEN 17 for a representative proceeding in the Supreme Court. Do not cite a paragraph number from the current SC GEN 17 PDF. Its later paragraphs were not opened. |

## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

Who is a manufacturer does not change with the court. Part 10 is the New South Wales representative-proceedings regime. SC GEN 17 applies to Part 10 proceedings commenced in the Supreme Court.

- What the AI does: List the s 7 candidates from the labels and import records. A representative proceeding in the Supreme Court is under Part 10 of the Civil Procedure Act 2005. Practice Note SC GEN 17, current from 1 August 2024, applies to those Supreme Court proceedings. It does not govern a Federal Court proceeding.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides the s 7 manufacturer and whether Part 10 is the proceeding.
- 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. Separate the producer, the brand owner and the importer.
2. Record whether the actual manufacturer had an Australian place of business at importation.
3. Do not cite an unread paragraph of SC GEN 17.

## 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.
- SC GEN 17 says Part 10 proceedings present complexities and refers to the overriding purpose in s 56. The note's detailed paragraphs were not opened.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Supreme Court of New South Wales, Part 10

**Deliverable**: A manufacturer list, marked if the claim will be a Part 10 proceeding.

**Inputs**

- Labels, invoices and import records
- The lawyer's choice of forum

**Example**: Illustrative example: The brand owner and the importer are different. The lawyer applies s 7 to each. Because the proceeding will be a Supreme Court representative proceeding, SC GEN 17 is the management note, not a Federal Court note.

**Stop and escalate when**

- A person is named with no s 7 paragraph.
- An unread paragraph of SC GEN 17 is cited.
