## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

The lawyer names the NSW pathway. The tool extracts facts for that pathway only.

- What the AI does: From the medical, wage and correspondence records, extract dated facts into the pathway the lawyer names, whether workers compensation, a motor accident claim or a Civil Liability Act damages claim, and keep a source cite on each fact.
- What the lawyer does: Name the pathway and verify every fact before it is used.
- 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. If the lawyer names workers compensation, sort facts against weekly payments, treatment expenses, permanent impairment and any work injury damages question.
2. If the lawyer names a motor accident on or after 1 December 2017, keep statutory benefits separate from a damages claim. Non-economic loss turns on impairment greater than 10 per cent.
3. If the lawyer names a Civil Liability Act claim, do not use that Act for a matter section 3B excludes, including work injury damages and dust-disease damages.
4. Every fact keeps the document, page and date it came from. Gaps are listed, not filled.

## Notes

- Procedural Direction PIC13 allows a generative AI tool to prepare chronologies and schedules from material that is allowed into the tool. It does not allow the tool to generate the content of a person's evidence.
- Health and wage records stay in a firm-controlled tool. Australian Solicitors' Conduct Rules rule 9 and Australian Privacy Principle 11 apply, and a breach may be notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: NSW workers compensation, motor accidents, or a claim under the Civil Liability Act 2002

**Deliverable**: A sourced fact list arranged under the pathway the lawyer has named.

**Inputs**

- The pathway named by the lawyer
- Medical, wage and correspondence records selected by the lawyer

**Example**: Illustrative example: The lawyer names a public liability claim. The tool files the fall, the photographs and the time off work under that claim. It does not also build a workers compensation weekly-payments calculation.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The lawyer has not named the pathway.
- A document the fact list relies on is missing or illegible.
