Work out whether a limitation period still runs on a dust claim
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- In a firm-controlled tool, record the diagnosis date, the date the person first knew of the injury and of the act or omission, and the employment dates the lawyer marks. The tool does not write the limitation advice.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides whether the dust exception applies and writes any advice.
- Do not define worker. In Victoria, section 23AB uses the word and the opened text does not.
- Where the exception does not apply, apply the ordinary rule that was opened.
- Do not reuse a generic deadline calculator for this question.

Checklist
- Confirm the advice names the section that removes the period, or says the exception was not engaged.
- In Victoria, confirm the advice does not invent who is a worker.
- Confirm a Queensland dust injury is not given the ordinary page's three-year sentence.
- Confirm the tool output contains dates only, and no advice.

These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
