Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- In the firm-controlled tool, from the placement contract, the injury facts and the defendants the lawyer names, make a table of the employer claim and any host or other non-employer claim, with the pre-court steps the opened provisions attach to each. Do not decide who owed the duty.
- What the lawyer must review
- Decide who the employer is, and which statute governs the claim against the host.
- Do not treat a host as outside the employer's damages provisions until that decision is made.
- Keep medical and wage records in the firm-controlled tool only.
- Check ASCR r 9, APP 11, and whether a Privacy Act breach is notifiable.

These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
A claim against a host is not a second copy of the employer claim. The pre-court steps can differ.
Medical and wage records stay in the firm-controlled tool. Check ASCR r 9, APP 11, and whether a breach is notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
