## 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 | Extract the warning or the signed form in the words on the page, with where it was given and who signed. Do not say whether it excludes the claim. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides what effect the words have. Extract them. Do not rewrite them. Do not add a risk-warning defence that removes the duty. The opened sections contain none. Keep health and wage records in a firm-controlled tool, not a public one. ASCR r 9 and APP 11 apply. Decide if a breach is notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). |

## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

Sections 14B, 48 and 53 were opened. None gives a risk warning the effect of removing the duty of care.

- What the AI does: Extract the warning or the signed form in the words on the page, with where it was given and who signed. Do not say whether it excludes the claim.
- What the lawyer does: Make the legal assessment, check the source material and authorise the output for its intended use.
- 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. Extract the warning or signed form in the words on the page, with where it appears and who signed.
2. Do not treat the sign as removing the section 14B duty or the section 48 precautions test.
3. If an obvious-risk point is taken, leave it to section 53 and section 54. Section 54 was not opened.
4. A consumer-law limit on death or injury is a separate question. That page was not used for this version.

## Notes

- Do not treat a sign as a statutory defence. No risk-warning section of that kind was in the Wrongs Act sections opened.
- If this is filed in the Supreme Court of Victoria, Practice Note SC Gen 25, issued on 14 May 2026, calls for particular caution with affidavit material and expert reports, and says confidential information should not go into a public AI tool.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Victoria. A recreational activity where a warning or signed form is in the brief.

**Deliverable**: An extract of the warning or signed form. The lawyer decides its effect.

**Inputs**

- The warning or signed form
- Where and when it was given, if a document shows that

**Example**: Illustrative example: A sign at the entry warns of uneven ground. The extract copies the words and the photograph. It does not say the sign removes liability.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The words cannot be read.
- The tool is asked to say the form excludes the claim.
