Prepare the issues for a contributory negligence reduction
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the facts about the injured person's own conduct, build an issues table for a contributory negligence reduction. The lawyer names the civil liability statute. Where that statute is the Civil Liability Act 2002 (NSW), use ss 5R and 5S. The tool does not choose a percentage.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides whether there was contributory negligence, the standard of care, and the reduction, including whether a 100 per cent reduction is open, and writes the advice. Other jurisdictions are checked on their own Act.
- Written for / version
