MaintainedLast reviewed
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the diagnosis and whether the proposed defendant is the employer, mark the latent-onset compensation path and whether a notice of claim is still required for damages.
- What the lawyer must review
- Confirm the defendant is the employer or someone else before choosing the pre-court path.
- Do not apply the ordinary three-year sentence on the common-law page to a dust-related condition.
- Do not say every pre-court step is skipped.
- Keep the reports in the firm tool under ASCR r 9, APP 11 and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
