Assess an owner’s damages claim for failure to maintain common property
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- Build a source-tagged chronology of the defect from the owners corporation’s records, the owner’s complaints, the committee minutes, the repair quotes and the loss documents, and tabulate each item of loss claimed against the document that evidences it. The tool states no view on breach, causation or recoverability.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides whether the property is common property the owners corporation must maintain, whether the duty was breached, whether each item of loss was reasonably foreseeable and caused by the breach, whether the claim is within time, and whether a by-law or memorandum changes the position, and writes the advice.

Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | Supporting preparation only. Build a source-tagged chronology of the defect from the owners corporation’s records, the owner’s complaints, the committee minutes, the repair quotes and the loss documents, and tabulate each item of loss claimed against the document that evidences it. The tool states no view on breach, causation or recoverability. The tool writes nothing into the document. Substantive advice, judgement and any restricted content remain with the responsible human. |
| Lawyer | Perform the substantive analysis and decisions. Independently check any permitted supporting work and approve the exact output for its intended use. |
Checklist
- Check the chronology entries are drawn from the records, not from the owner’s letter of claim.
- Fix the date the owner first became aware of the loss from the documents.
- Check the scheme’s by-laws for a common property memorandum or rights by-law that shifts the duty.
