Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | Supporting preparation only. Index the reports, the dates and whether a proceeding is already on foot. Write nothing that is filed. Do not state a rule about damages after death. The tool writes nothing into the document. Substantive advice, judgement and any restricted content remain with the responsible human. |
| Lawyer | Perform the substantive analysis and decisions. Independently check any permitted supporting work and approve the exact output for its intended use. |
Checklist
- No examination provision was opened.
- Paragraph 6.4: an expedited trial is sought on summons with supporting material, as soon as possible.
- Paragraph 13.1 says regional proceedings are managed in the same way as other proceedings in any List, subject to stated exceptions. The trial will be listed in the relevant Supreme Court civil trial circuit unless a more urgent listing is required due to a party's state of health. That is not the expedited-trial rule in paragraph 6.4, and it is not a general urgent-listing power for every Dust Diseases List case.
- No provision on survival of non-economic loss was opened. Do not copy section 12B of the Dust Diseases Tribunal Act 1989.
