| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether an issue is a general issue and whether leave is needed. Where section 25B applies, the later judgment must identify the issue. Do not treat an issue as binding in Victoria or Queensland. No equivalent was opened. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to the linked source and check for material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: In a firm-controlled tool, list each earlier determination the lawyer identifies, the issue it decided and the later claim it may affect, with the judgment reference and no argument.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether an issue is a general issue and whether leave is needed. Where section 25B applies, the later judgment must identify the issue. Do not treat an issue as binding in Victoria or Queensland. No equivalent was opened.
- 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.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check each judgment reference against the decision, not a note of it.
2. Confirm the table contains no argument about whether leave should be granted.
3. Confirm Victoria and Queensland are marked as having no equivalent section opened.
4. Confirm a later New South Wales judgment is flagged as needing to identify the issue.

## 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.
- The Dust Diseases Tribunal practice-notes index opened on 23 October 2026 has no generative AI note. Do not treat a Supreme Court generative AI note as the Tribunal rule. Do not enter confidential information into a public tool.
