## 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 | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Build an inventory of the goods, batch, packaging and any recall notice. Note whether a ban is a New South Wales interim ban or a Commonwealth ban. Do not treat a recall as proof of a defect. |
| What the lawyer must review | Decide what is kept and whether a hold letter goes to a supplier. A New South Wales interim ban ends 60 days after the start day and applies only in that State. Each extension is for up to 30 days. A further extension of a State ban is by the Commonwealth Minister. A Commonwealth interim ban and a permanent ban apply nationally. Keep injury photographs in the firm's system. |

## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

The recall record is national. A New South Wales interim ban is the state difference. Court preservation rules were not opened.

- What the AI does: Build an inventory of the goods, batch, packaging and any recall notice. Note whether a ban is a New South Wales interim ban or a Commonwealth ban. Do not treat a recall as proof of a defect.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides what is preserved and what the ban covers.
- 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. Match the batch code to the invoice and to any recall.
2. Keep packaging, marks and warnings.
3. Do not treat a ban as proof of a safety defect.
4. Do not load injury photographs into a public tool.

## Notes

- Practice Note SC GEN 23 and District Court General Practice Note 2 prohibit generative AI from generating affidavit content, and require leave before it drafts an expert report. Draw the note to the expert.
- No New South Wales rule number for preservation of property was opened.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: The goods themselves, and any New South Wales interim ban

**Deliverable**: An inventory and a note of any New South Wales interim ban.

**Inputs**

- Photographs and batch codes
- The public recall record
- Any ban notice

**Example**: Illustrative example: A New South Wales interim ban applies and a Commonwealth permanent ban does not. The lawyer records the state limit and keeps the goods and the packaging.

**Stop and escalate when**

- A state interim ban is described as national.
- Injury photographs are put into a public tool.
