## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

The lawyer settles the submission. The tool supplies the chronology and issues, and writes nothing that is a person's evidence.

- What the AI does: Build a cited chronology and issues list from the medical and payroll records the lawyer selects, and draft submission headings for the lawyer to settle. Do not generate the content of a person's evidence.
- What the lawyer does: Choose the division and the form, verify every fact and citation, and settle the submission that is lodged.
- 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. For a work capacity dispute only, Procedural Direction WC5 uses an Application for Expedited Assessment. A dispute mixed with another entitlement uses an Application to Resolve a Dispute.
2. For a motor accident dispute, check that any internal review was asked for within 28 days of receiving notice of the insurer's decision, and that the further dispute is lodged with the Commission.
3. PIC13 paragraph 11 allows a chronology and written submissions. Paragraph 12 prohibits generating the content of a person's evidence.
4. Check paragraph 10 before compelled material, material under the Harman undertaking, or material subject to a publication prohibition is placed in the tool. Paragraph 9 warns that data entered into a generative AI program may be used to train the model. A public tool is not used.

## Notes

- PIC13 adopts Practice Note SC Gen 23 so far as practicable. The District Court and the Local Court adopt that practice note for proceedings in those courts.
- WC5, as amended on 25 November 2024, states a past-medical-expenses figure of $9,669.20 as indexed for the expedited pathway. Check the indexed figure on the day of lodgment.
- Health and wage records stay in a firm-controlled tool. The lawyer applies ASCR r 9 and APP 11, and decides whether any breach is notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Personal Injury Commission of New South Wales, Workers Compensation Division or Motor Accidents Division

**Deliverable**: A chronology, issues list and submission headings for the lawyer to settle before lodgment.

**Inputs**

- Lawyer-selected medical and payroll records
- The insurer's decision and any internal review
- Current PIC procedural direction for the dispute type

**Example**: Illustrative example: The file has a work capacity decision and a separate claim for weekly payments. The tool keeps them in separate rows. The lawyer chooses the application, because a mixed dispute is not the expedited form.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The output is being pasted into a statement of a person's evidence.
- Compelled or health records would leave the firm's controlled tool.
