## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

The lawyer writes the rule 547 statement. The tool extracts the categories and the figures.

- What the AI does: From the records the lawyer selects, extract the rule 547 items into a table: expenses, earnings, treatment and earlier injuries. The tool does not write or sign the statement.
- What the lawyer does: Write the statement of loss and damage and arrange the plaintiff's signature before service.
- 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. Serve a written statement, signed by the plaintiff, within 28 days after the close of pleadings and before a request for trial date is filed.
2. Include out-of-pocket expenses and the documents, economic loss with employers and net earnings for the three years before the injury and since, and pain and suffering and loss of amenities.
3. Name the hospitals, doctors and experts who have examined the plaintiff or reported, and list accidents, injuries or illnesses in the three years before the injury and since.
4. The statement is signed. It was not read as a document that is filed.

## Notes

- The Queensland Courts generative AI page says not to enter private, confidential, suppressed or privileged information into a public chatbot.
- The Uniform Law text of rule 9 was opened. The Queensland Law Society page says the Australian Solicitors' Conduct Rules 2023 commenced on 27 September 2024 and does not list rule 9 among the rules kept in older wording.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: A Queensland personal injury proceeding in which rule 547 requires a statement of loss and damage

**Deliverable**: A category and figures table. The lawyer writes the statement and the plaintiff signs it.

**Inputs**

- Expenses, wage records and tax material selected by the lawyer
- The date pleadings closed
- The list of hospitals, doctors and experts

**Example**: Illustrative example: Pleadings closed 30 days ago and no statement has been served. The checklist marks the 28-day period. The lawyer writes the statement before a request for trial date is filed.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The close-of-pleadings date is unknown.
- The tool is asked to sign the statement or to invent an earning figure.
