## 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 | From the records produced to the court, build a page index marking the date, the author and any page naming another person. The tool does not decide what is served. |
| What the lawyer must review | Keep clinical records in a firm-controlled tool. Do not put them in a public AI tool. Apply rule 9.1. Do not disclose confidential client information, except as rule 9.2 allows. Take reasonable steps under APP 11 to protect the records from loss or unauthorised access. Decide whether a loss likely to result in serious harm must be notified under the Privacy Act. |

## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

The lawyer decides what is served before the status conference. The tool flags third-party pages.

- What the AI does: From the records produced to the court, build a page index marking the date, the author and any page naming another person. The tool does not decide what is served.
- What the lawyer does: Decide which produced pages are inspected and served. The tool only indexes.
- 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. Inspect produced documents before the status conference, as Practice Note 16 requires.
2. Flag a page naming a person other than the client before anything is served.
3. Do not enter material subject to a non-publication order into a generative AI program unless the confidentiality controls are satisfied.

## Notes

- Supreme Court Practice Note SC GEN 23, commenced on 3 February 2025, prohibits generative AI from generating evidentiary content, and requires prior leave before it is used to draft an expert report.
- SC GEN 23 allows a chronology, an index or a witness list. No District Court generative AI practice note was opened. Practice Note 16 governs the General List.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: District Court General List production inspected before the status conference

**Deliverable**: A page index for the inspection, with third-party pages flagged.

**Inputs**

- The produced records
- The status conference date
- Any non-publication or suppression order

**Example**: Illustrative example: Production arrives the week of the status conference. The index is limited to pages the lawyer has opened. Unread boxes are not marked as inspected.

**Stop and escalate when**

- A non-publication order covers the records and the controls have not been checked.
- The tool is asked to serve documents the lawyer has not seen.
