Set out the New South Wales duty questions for mental harm
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- In a firm-controlled tool, list the section 32 circumstances of the Civil Liability Act 2002 and leave every answer blank. Keep section 29 in a separate row.
- What the lawyer must review
- Decide whether a duty is owed. The questions cover mental harm, not only pure mental harm.
- For consequential harm, use the personal injury. For pure mental harm, use the circumstances the section lists.
- Do not treat section 29 as creating the duty.
