## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

The index records the papers and flags the dates section 37 and section 9 use. The lawyer decides what each paper proves and whether a date is diarised.

- What the AI does: Index each paper from the first interview with its date, author, a short description and the page count. Do not say what the document proves, and do not calculate a notice date.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides what each paper proves and whether any notice date is calculated.
- 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. Each row is the date, the author, a short description and the page count. There is no narrative.
2. Flag a paper that shows the date the claimant first consulted a lawyer. Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994 section 37 uses that date. Do not calculate the notice period.
3. Flag a paper that shows the date a law practice was first instructed and whether the proposed defendant was then identified. Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 section 9(3) uses those facts. Do not calculate the part 1 date.
4. The index does not say what a document proves. A medical report is described as a report, not as a finding.

## Notes

- An unidentified vehicle changes the section 37 periods. The index can flag a paper about identification. It does not decide that the vehicle is unidentified.
- The index is an internal list. It is not sent.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Queensland first-interview papers on a plaintiff personal injury file

**Deliverable**: An index of the first-interview papers, with the first-consultation and first-instruction papers flagged and no date calculated.

**Inputs**

- The papers brought to the first interview
- The lawyer's note of when a lawyer was first consulted and when a law practice was first instructed

**Example**: Illustrative example: A retainer letter is indexed by its date and author. The row flags it as the first instruction. It does not diary the section 9 part 1 date.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The draft says what a document proves.
- The draft calculates a notice date.
