## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

The lawyer writes anything that is filed. The list only records which path the opened pages allow.

- What the AI does: From the decision, the certificate and the injury date, list whether the next path is arbitration or a court, and the limits the arbitration page states. Write nothing in a notice of appeal or in grounds.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer makes the legal assessment, checks the source material and authorises 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. Conciliation is essential before arbitration or court. A genuine dispute certificate may issue if conciliation does not resolve the dispute.
2. Arbitration can be used where the injury is on or after 1 September 2022, there is a genuine dispute certificate, and the dispute is about weekly payments, medical and like expenses, superannuation contributions, or interest. The arbitration officer's determination is a final decision that those involved must follow.
3. The arbitration page does not describe that determination as an appeal limited to an error of law. A court proceeding is a different path. The pages do not set out the grounds on which a court will intervene.
4. A lawyer needs permission to attend the arbitration hearing. The lawyer still writes any document that is filed in a court.

## Notes

- No Workplace Injury Commission generative-AI practice note was found. A court document is verified under the County Court practice note of 9 June 2026 or Practice Note SC GEN 25. One tool cannot verify another.
- The tool writes nothing in a notice of appeal or in grounds.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Victoria: after Workplace Injury Commission conciliation, before arbitration or a court

**Deliverable**: A path list. The lawyer writes any notice and any grounds.

**Inputs**

- The genuine dispute certificate, if any
- The injury date
- What the dispute is about

**Example**: Illustrative example: The injury is in 2021 and the dispute is about weekly payments. The list records that arbitration, on the page, requires an injury on or after 1 September 2022. It does not draft a court notice. The lawyer chooses the path and writes any document that is filed.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The list contains draft grounds or a notice of appeal.
- The list says an arbitration is limited to an error of law.
