Leave the amount blank for the lawyer. - What the lawyer does: Set the offer and the settlement authority. The record does not recommend a figure. Check who must attend, and whether a contributor or a third party has been told. Keep medical and wage records in the firm-controlled tool only. Check ASCR r 9, APP 11, and whether a Privacy Act breach is notifiable. - Who reviews: Lawyer competent in personal injury - 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. ## Checks the lawyer makes 1. Leave the offer amount blank until the lawyer writes it. 2. Name each person who must attend, and record any reasonable excuse for not attending in person. 3. Do not put the mediation offers into a court document. SIRA says they are not disclosed until after determination. 4. Check the Victorian costs consequence of the statutory offer and counter offer before the counter offer is sent. ## 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. - If the matter is filed, read that court's current generative AI practice note first.
