## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Personal Injury & Compensation (workers compensation, CTP/TAC, medical negligence)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | From the orders and the pleadings index, list each readiness item in the rule or practice note and whether the file shows it is done. The tool does not write or sign the request that is filed. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether the proceeding is ready, and signs any request that is filed. Where the rule requires chapter 14 part 2 to have been complied with, read that part before signing. Confirm the mode of trial, the fees and the witness list before the final directions hearing. Make sure the practitioner who attends can answer questions on readiness. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led readiness**

The lawyer signs the request. The tool lists the readiness items and whether the file shows each one is done.

- What the AI does: From the orders and the pleadings index, list each readiness item in the rule or practice note and whether the file shows it is done. The tool does not write or sign the request that is filed.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the proceeding is ready, and signs any request that is filed. Where the rule requires chapter 14 part 2 to have been complied with, read that part before signing. Confirm the mode of trial, the fees and the witness list before the final directions hearing. A practitioner who attends must be able to answer questions on readiness.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.
- Restriction: The lawyer writes anything filed with the court or signed by the client. The tool may organise, extract, compare, index or comment.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Do not sign a request for trial date while a delivered interrogatory is unanswered.
2. Confirm every necessary witness is available.
3. Where the request rule requires chapter 14 part 2, confirm that part before the request is filed.
4. At a final directions hearing, confirm judge alone or jury, the fees, and the witness list.

## Notes

- 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.
