| What the lawyer must review | Do not diary an initial notice. No such section was opened. Do not restate a significant-injury condition. None was opened. Keep health and wage records in a firm-controlled tool, not a public one. ASCR r 9 and APP 11 apply. Decide if a breach is notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). |

## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

The Wrongs Act sections and limitation sections opened do not require a notice before a treatment claim is filed.

- What the AI does: From the injury facts and the dates the lawyer supplies, list only a pre-court step that an opened section requires, and leave the notice row off where none does. Do not draft a notice.
- What the lawyer does: Make the legal assessment, check the source material and authorise the output for its intended use.
- 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. Do not add an initial notice, a part 1 notice, or a specialist report as a filing step.
2. Section 27D or section 27E, as applicable, remains the limitation question. It is not a notice.
3. Section 59 and section 60 sort treatment from a warning. They do not require a pre-court notice.
4. Leave a significant-injury step off this list. That section was not opened.

## Notes

- Do not copy a Queensland initial-notice timetable onto this file.
- If this is filed in the Supreme Court of Victoria, Practice Note SC Gen 25, issued on 14 May 2026, calls for particular caution with affidavit material and expert reports, and says confidential information should not go into a public AI tool.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Victoria. Steps before a treatment claim is filed.

**Deliverable**: A step list that omits any notice the opened sections do not require.

**Inputs**

- Injury facts the lawyer supplies
- Dates the lawyer supplies

**Example**: Illustrative example: The file has treatment records and no statutory notice. The list does not invent a notice. It records that no notice section was opened.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The tool is asked to draft a notice.
- A significant-injury section is treated as read when it was not.
